Top 3 Reasons for Low Water Pressure
Unfortunately, many homeowners have had to deal with low water pressure for
some time which can be quite irritating. The good news is that it is a potentially
easy fix. Low water pressure can make everyday activities such as washing dishes
and taking a shower incredibly inefficient. Below are some common causes of low
water pressure and some ways to remedy it.
Leaks
If there is a leak somewhere in your home’s plumbing system, it could cause the
pressure to be lax throughout the whole home. There is a way to find out if you do in fact have a leak. First, you need to shut off all water taps inside and outside
your home. Go check the meter and write down the numbers. Wait a few hours and check the meter again to see if it has increased at all. If it has, you will need
to contact your local plumber to locate the leak and fix it.
Corroded Pipes
If your water pipes are corroded, they are not going to allow the proper amount
of water to flow through them which will result in low water pressures. Corrosion can be caused by a number of things such as dirt and mineral deposits left behind
by your water. In some cases, the pipes may need to be replaced. This is a job for an experienced plumber as replacing water pipes is something that can go
terribly wrong.
Check the Valves
Your plumbing system is equipped with many valves. If any of the valves are damaged, they may cause low water pressure. This is another job that will need
to be fixed by a licensed plumber. Before you call the plumber, check the indoor main water shut off valve to make sure that it is on the full open position. If not,
turn it up and see if the pressure increases.
