Brandon was amazing! Added lines for our new integrated fridge and freezer columns and did plumbing for our oversized fireclay sink. He was very accommodating with our tight timelines and made sure to protect our floors with mats. Even the cats liked him. Than you Brandon!

I hired John The Plumber for another job that I needed to have done in my home. The same technician, Alex, arrived with a pleasant smile and ready to complete my service. While he was here I asked a few questions about additional plumbing concerns and, after a thoughtful and careful inspection, we discovered that part of my interior plumbing was actually not up to code. Right away he obtained the necessary components and completed the installation so that now I feel safe and my plumbing issues are resolved. Thank you Alex. I would definitely hire John The Plumber again.

Common Causes of Low Pressure

There are many things that could be affecting the pressure of water in your home such as:

Rusty Pipes

Water Demand in Your Home

Supply Line Leaks

Failing Pressure Regulator

The Size of Pipes in Your Home

Main Shutoff Valve Issues

What Can You Do About Your Water Pressure?

What Can You Do About Your Water Pressure?

Clean Your Showerheads and/or Faucets

Using your pipes over and over again results in a build up of minerals within your showerheads and faucets. If you notice any leftover debris or discolouration, it is likely that your pipes are clogged up. Fortunately, if this is the cause it is easy enough to fix: simply clean your showerheads and faucets with water and vinegar.
What Can You Do About Your Water Pressure?

Repair Any Potential Leaks

The most likely cause of a sudden loss in pressure is if there is a leak. To check if you have a leak shut off all your water for two hours; if your water meter changes within these two hours then you have a leak. Because this problem is more serious than a simple mineral build up, fixing a leak requires the services of a professional company.
