Offering 24/7 Emergency Plumbing Services
Causes of Low Water Pressure
Over time, mineral deposits, rust, and other debris can build up in your pipes, creating a blockage that reduces water flow.
Older homes often have steel pipes that can corrode over time. This corrosion can restrict the flow of water, resulting in low pressure.
If your plumbing system has a leak, you might not be getting all the water you should be. Even small leaks can significantly affect your water pressure over time.
Sometimes, the problem isn’t with your pipes but with the fixture itself. If only one faucet or showerhead has low water pressure, it may be due to a clogged aerator or a faulty fixture.
Also known as pressure-reducing valves, these devices are used to control the water pressure in your home. If they fail or are set incorrectly, they can cause low water pressure.
If you share a water source with your neighbors, you might experience low water pressure during peak usage times.
Sometimes, the problem is out of your control. Low water pressure can be due to issues with the water supply from your local municipality, like maintenance work or infrastructure problems.
Remember, if you’re experiencing persistent low water pressure in your Scarborough home, it’s important to get a professional diagnosis. At MT Drains & Plumbing, our team of licensed and insured professionals is always ready to help identify and resolve your water pressure issues. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
