Question 1

What are the common causes of low pressure?

Accepted Answer

Corroded galvanized pipes, faulty pressure regulator, partially closed valve, defective accumulator, clogged filters, or municipal issue.

Question 2

How do you diagnose the problem?

Accepted Answer

We measure pressure at various points, inspect valves, check the regulator, use cameras for pipes, and test individual flows.

Question 3

Can you increase water pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, depending on the cause. Possible solutions: pipe replacement, regulator adjustment/repair, booster installation, filter cleaning.

Question 4

What is a pressure regulator and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

It reduces municipal pressure (often too high) to a safe level for your home. If defective, it can cause too much or too little pressure.

Question 5

Is too much pressure dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it prematurely wears appliances, causes leaks, and can damage pipes. Ideal pressure is between 40 and 60 psi.

Question 6

Can low pressure be only in one place?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if only one appliance is affected, the problem is local (faucet, showerhead). If the whole house is affected, the problem is general.
