Dealing with Low Water Pressure in Your Home? Abel Plumbing Can Help!
Have you ever turned on the shower or tap, only to be met with a frustrating trickle of water? Low water pressure can be a common issue in many homes, and while it might seem like a minor inconvenience, it can actually point to a larger problem in your plumbing system. The good news? There are several causes of low water pressure, and most of them are fixable with a bit of troubleshooting. Abel Plumbing is diving into what causes low water pressure and how you can restore your home’s water flow.
Common Causes of Low Water Pressure
There are several potential reasons for low water pressure in your home, and pinpointing the cause is the first step in fixing it. Here are some common culprits:
Clogged Pipes or Faucets Over time, mineral deposits or debris can build up in your pipes, reducing water flow. This is especially common in homes with hard water or older plumbing systems.
Failing Water Softener If your home has a water softener, it may be malfunctioning or misadjusted, causing a drop in water pressure throughout your house.
Leaky Pipes Leaks in your plumbing system can waste water and reduce pressure. Even small leaks can have a big impact, so it’s important to address them quickly.
Municipal Water Supply Issues Sometimes, low pressure is a result of issues with the local water supply. If the problem is widespread, it may be due to temporary repairs or changes in the system.
Aging Plumbing Old pipes, especially those made from galvanized steel, can become corroded or clogged, affecting water pressure.
Water-Saving Fixtures Some of these fixtures are designed to use less water, so if you’re used to higher water pressure, the difference may feel significant.
