Low water pressure can make everyday tasks like showering and washing dishes frustrating. Identifying whether the issue is localized or system-wide helps narrow down the solution.
Clogged Aerators and Fixtures
If low pressure only affects a single faucet, the aerator at the tip of the spout may be clogged with sediment or mineral buildup. Unscrewing and cleaning the screen often resolves the issue.
Partially Closed Main Shut-Off Valve
If you recently had repair work done, check your main water valve near the meter or where the line enters your home. Ensure it is turned completely open.
Corroded or Scaling Galvanized Pipes
In older homes with galvanized steel piping, internal corrosion and mineral buildup gradually restrict water passage over time, necessitating pipe replacement.
Leaks in the Supply Line
Unexplained drops in pressure across the entire property can stem from a hidden leak in your main supply line. Professional leak detection pinpoints the location without destructive digging.
