The Truth About Low Water Pressure

It’s true that the Internet is a part of most people's everyday lives in modern society. Not only this, but it is a great means of free education and sharing knowledge. Plumbing isn’t excluded from this world of free knowledge. When it comes to low water pressure, there is a lot of information that can help you try and figure out the root cause on your own.

Sometimes, it will still take a professional to get the job done, but there are things you can do to help prolong this from happening. Continue reading to learn all you need to know about fixing low water pressure as well as preventing it in your home.

The Causes of Low Water Pressure

The number one cause of low water pressure is a faucet or fixture that is clogged. Faucets don’t always get the proper amount of attention because they aren’t something that needs to be tended to on a regular basis. These fixtures can easily become clogged and affect your water pressure. The good news is, this is also one of the easiest problems to fix and can be done without a professional.

Simply cleaning the sediment from the faucet will do the trick and have your water pressure back to normal. If the problem is affecting more than just one faucet, though, you may have another issue. Some problems that may need help from a professional are:

  • reasons fo low water pressureClogged water pipes
  • Failing pressure regulator
  • Corroded plumbing
  • Insufficient main supply line

These are all causes that occur from natural wear and tear, and they are problems that are generally best handled by a professional. In situations such as these, it is better to call a plumber to do the work for you because although the information on how to fix the problem is probably available to you online, an experienced professional will get the job done right without any guesswork.

Irradicating the Low Water Pressure Issue

Calling a plumber to inspect your main water supply line and the piping leading to your house is oftentimes a lot cheaper in the end then trying to solve the problem on your own. If the problem ends up being that you have a leak somewhere or corroded piping, then the plumber will have to repipe your system. This may seem like an expensive and sometimes unnecessary resolution, but that is not the case. Once the new pipes are installed they have a lifespan that is likely to last possibly decades.

Sometimes the answer is a bit more clear cut and doesn’t take as long to fix. If the problem is with your water pressure regulator, that means that your water pressure doesn’t know how hard or how soft to regulate the water which could end with you having too much or too little water pressure. All the plumber must do then is replace the water pressure regulator and you should be up and running like new in no time.
