Low Flow | Billy the Sunshine Plumber

Billy the Sunshine Plumber can restore the water pressure in your home.

You were showering this morning while getting dressed for a day trip to Three Sisters Springs when you noticed the water pressure was low. When you finished dressing, you checked the other faucets in your home and found that the water pressure seemed low all over the house.

“Home water pressure problems may present themselves in different ways, all of which can be quite frustrating. Faucets may take forever to fill a sink or bathtub, or a showerhead may not give you that strong spray you want. Your dishwasher or washing machine may take much longer to run a cycle than it should,” according to thespruce.com. “When only one fixture has low water pressure, it’s likely that the problem can be remedied if you just focus on fixing that one fixture or the pipes serving it. But widespread water pressure issues affecting the whole house indicate different problems. If your home water pressure seems low, then the first thing to do is to narrow down the cause.”

Among the possible causes, according to thespruce.com, are closed or partially closed water meter valves and shutoff valves. A failing pressure regulator could also be at fault. So could older steel pipes.

Thespruce.com explains: “The most serious and potentially expensive reason for low water pressure occurs when old galvanized steel water pipes are corroded to the point that water flow is significantly restricted. These pipes corrode on the inside (so you usually can’t see the corrosion, but over time, the buildup of corrosion and scale gradually closes off the pipe.

“This problem develops over decades, so the reduction in water flow is very gradual; you will not notice a sudden drop in pressure. However, if you move into an old house with steel pipes, the pipes may have significant corrosion to start with and the problem may worsen relatively quickly.

“Unfortunately, the only solution for corroded pipes is to re-pipe the system with new copper or plastic water supply piping. It is the only way to solve the problem.”
