SIX REASONS YOU HAVE

Low Water Prsure

Faulty Ftur

Proper water pressure is often taken for granted until you step into your shower only to be met with a trickle of water. These common

issues might explain your low water pressure.

No matter the cause of your lackluster water pressure, it’s wise to call a certified plumber rather than attempt to fix the problem yourself, as you could potentially make matters worse.

1Old faucets often become clogged by rust, limestone or dirt, impeding the flow of water and reducing its quality. Solve the problem by replacing rusted or calcified fixtures.

Water Valve Issu2A home’s water is controlled by two shut-off valves, which should remain completely open to allow proper water flow. If either valve is only partially open, this is probably the issue with your pressure.

Failing Prsure Regulator5Plumbing equipped with a pressure regulator can malfunction by providing either too much or too little pressure. The only way to remedy this is by having a certified plumber replace the regulator.
