Low water pressure at home: causes and solutions
Is your home's water weak? Learn the common causes of low water pressure and their fixes, and when you need a plumber.
Weak flow from the tap or shower is an annoying problem that affects your daily comfort. Its causes are varied, and some are easy to fix.
1) Blocked filters and aerators
Sediment building up on the mixer filter or shower head reduces flow. Cleaning or replacing them often fixes it immediately.
2) A leak in the network
A hidden leak lowers the pressure reaching the taps. Fixing it restores pressure and stops the waste.
3) A tank or pump problem
A weak pump, a low tank level, or a faulty float valve may be the cause, and needs the source checked.
4) Old or narrow pipes
Sediment inside old pipes gradually narrows the water path and lowers pressure throughout the home.
When do you need a plumber?
If the weakness is across the whole home and not a single tap, the problem is in the network or pump and needs a specialist. Contact us to diagnose.
