4 Most Probable Reasons For Low Water Pressure

4 Most Probable Reasons For Low Water Pressure Low water pressure in your home is really frustrating. You won’t feel like taking a shower or even wash your hands. But, have you ever wondered why the pressure drops suddenly?

Sometimes it is not a problem of the water line at all but the faucets and shower heads in your bathroom. They may grow old or get damaged due to some reason, resulting in low pressure. Only a certified plumber will understand what is wrong and treat the problem accordingly. So, let us first check out the 4 most probable reasons of reduced water pressure in homes.

Showerheads Have Become Old: So, you have not changed your showerheads since a decade?

Well, probably that is the reason why you are experiencing low water pressure. Moreover, if you have installed low­pressure showerheads, then it is all the more necessary to change your showerheads as soon as possible. Go for the one with high­ pressure option to get rid of the issue and enjoy your showers like before.

Debris In The Aerator Screens: Almost all the modern faucets and showerheads have an aerator screen to filter out dirt and debris and prevent water splash. But, with time, these screens get loaded with debris causing the pressure to come down. You should check them and clean them from time to time to stop this from happening.

Although it is quite easy to clean the aerator screens by dissembling and using white vinegar to clean it, you can also opt for the help of certified residential plumbing services. The tint of professionalism in their work will minimize any chance of error.

Pipe Corrosion: Old galvanized pipes are easily corroded causing low water pressure. Replacing those can improve the situation to a great extent. Do you have galvanized pipes in your home? Are they hindering the water from flowing, resulting in low water pressure? How will you know it? Call the licensed plumbers from a residential plumbing service and ask them to troubleshoot the issue of low pressure. Not only they will do that but also effectively resolve the issue if there is any.

There Is A Leak Somewhere: This is one of the most common reasons for low water pressure. It is quite difficult to locate water leaks. Only an experienced eye could find out the location of the leak if there is any. Therefore, call some licensed residential plumbing experts to take care of the issue.

Low water pressure is annoying. Do make some effort to take care of the issue as soon as possible. When you are paying your bills regularly, you have the right to enjoy maximum water pressure in your home. If you are not getting that, call the plumbers. They will make sure you enjoy a good flow of water in your homes consistently.
