Low water pressure can impact your everyday activities - perhaps making it hard to shower or even wash dishes. The root causes must be understood for correct troubleshooting and resolution. Low water pressure is brought on by concealed plumbing leaks, blocked or corroded pipes, along with flawed pressure regulators. Also issues with the municipal water supply (high demand or maintenance work) can impact pressure overall. Other possible causes include sediment buildup in water heaters, bad pipe sizing and partially shut valves. Identifying if the issue is specific to a fixture or is system wide will help homeowners take targeted measures to repair water flow. When easy fixes aren't enough, a professional plumber can diagnose more complicated issues and repair them to keep your house provided with clean water.
