Common Causes of Low Pressure

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?

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.
