Solving Low Water Pressure Issues with Carlong Plumbing

Experiencing low water pressure at home can be inconvenient, whether you’re hopping into the shower or trying to fill a pot in the kitchen. Understanding the root causes will help in addressing and resolving these issues efficiently. Low water pressure can result from a variety of culprits such as corroded pipes, unnoticed leaks, or open faucets both inside and outside the house. It’s a problem that needs attention to maintain your home’s comfort and functionality.

Understanding the Causes of Low Water Pressure

A common cause of low water pressure is the deterioration of older plumbing infrastructure. In many older homes, pipes were made from galvanized steel, which over time, can corrode from the inside out. This corrosion reduces the internal diameter of the pipe, restricting water flow and resulting in diminished water pressure. If your home has these older pipes, it might be worth considering an update to more modern plumbing materials.

Apart from corroded pipes, something as simple as a faucet left running can impact water availability and pressure significantly. An outdoor faucet, often overlooked, may be on and unnoticed after outdoor activities, particularly if adventurous kids forget to turn it off. Similarly, a leak within the plumbing fixtures or a minor pinhole leak inside the walls can lead to a steady drop in pressure. Recognizing these issues and performing routine checks can help identify potential water waste or causes of pressure loss.
To ensure all is well, conduct a thorough inspection of your home. First, check that all faucets and fixtures are securely turned off. Next, examine visible water lines for any signs of leaks or corrosion. Remember to occasionally inspect outdoor faucets and hoses as well. If after these checks you are still experiencing low pressure, it’s advisable to consult with a professional plumber.

Carlong Plumbing follows a methodical approach to diagnose and rectify any underlying issues causing low water pressure. Initially, our experts perform comprehensive fixture checks to ensure no faucet remains open, another initial troubleshooting step you might consider. They then check for wet spots, indicating leaks, and test water flow and pressure in different parts of your home. This step-by-step elimination process helps us accurately pinpoint and address the cause of decreased water flow in your system.
