No Need To Cry Over Low Water Pressure!

Low water pressure is one of the most annoying things when trying to do dishes or take a shower. It might come as a surprise, but the natural wear and tear of the plumbing system greatly affect the water pressure levels. That said, an unkempt system is more likely to cause this issue as well. This Valentine’s Day, homeowners can prepare their house for a romantic night in with a quick visit from local plumbing professionals. 

There are many different causes of low water pressure. If homeowners are aware of these causes, they can potentially call a plumber sooner and have the problem resolved before more expensive issues arise. 

Causes of Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure is frustrating, to say the least. It’s hard to get things clean without sufficient water pressure. When water pressure is low, some homeowners call to have the problem fixed immediately. However, other homeowners procrastinate on addressing the issue for one reason or another. 

Regardless, it is best to have the problem eradicated as soon as possible. The main reason is that low water pressure is often a sign of a compromise in the critical infrastructure of the home’s plumbing system. 

To know what to look for, here are a few of the common causes of low water pressure: 

  • The water supplier is having issues
  • A thunderstorm could affect it as well
  • There were regulation changes
  • Failing pressure regulator
  • Clogged pipes
  • Corroded pipes
  • The shutoff valve isn’t open all the way
  • The water meter valve isn’t open all the way

Some of these causes are fixes that don’t require a professional. However, if the problem seems to be something with the pipes themselves or with the regulator, the homeowner should call a plumber. 

Easy Ways Low Water Pressure Can Be Fixed

Obviously, some of the easiest ways to fix low water pressure are to check the shutoff valve and water meter valve first. Then homeowners can try to figure out if regulations were changed or if the water supplier is experiencing issues. 

If the problem is in the pipes, though, a professional pipe cleaning should do the trick. It’s best if homeowners have their pipes professionally cleaned two or three times a year. The plumbing system gets used multiple times a day, just by one person. It’s essential to take care of it. 

Tips To Prevent Low Water Pressure in the First Place

As mentioned above, the best way to prevent low water pressure in the first place is to take care of the plumbing system from day one. The plumbing system doesn’t ask for much, but homeowners tend to get busy and forget to have maintenance done or don’t have it done to save a few bucks.
