Low Water Pressure

Get Low Water Pressure Help Right Away

Having adequate water pressure in your home is just one of many factors that determines your quality of life on a daily basis. Without it, we cannot shower or wash dishes properly or complete other tasks that require a pressurized stream of water. So thankfully, Z PLUMBERZ has the solution.

What Causes Low Water Pressure?

Low water pressure, or “low flow” as we like to call it, typically occurs when there is an obstruction in your water stream. It can be caused by factors such as:

• Debris in the water—Items such as rust and sediment can build up and get lodged in aerators, valves, and pipes. Sometimes, the water department works on their pipes, and rust or gravel gets into the lines and plugs up fixtures.
• Faulty fixtures—Broken or worn internal parts can restrict water flow. 
• Pressure regulators—If the pressure regulator goes bad or stops working, it may cause low pressure in all of the water fixtures in your home.
• Low pressure to the house—Sometimes the water coming from the city has low pressure. You can test using a pressure gauge and a hose.
• Water valves—Homeowners sometimes accidentally move or turn off valves without realizing it. Double-check your water valves at appliances, fixtures, and your main water line to make sure you have completely turned them to the ON position.
• Water leaks—Cracks or damage to water pipes servicing your house can cause water leaks. Water leaks can cause low water pressure because not all of the water is making its way to your faucet.
• Mineral deposit build-up—Over time, pipes can experience mineral deposit build-ups. These build-ups clog faucets and shower heads, preventing full water pressure. Try cleaning out the faucet heads and shower heads in your home to see if this alleviates the problem.

Over time, pipes and plumbing fixtures become worn, corroded, and blocked which puts a stop to your normal activities such as bathing, cleaning the dishes, and doing the laundry. So it’s best to have a professional assess the situation, find the problem, and provide a long-lasting solution. Z PLUMBERZ has the experience, tools, and knowledge to fix any plumbing problem.
