Low Water Pressure Repair in Houston Metro
Causes Of Low Water Pressure
Nothing is more frustrating than getting into a nice relaxing shower only to get a weak stream of water from your showerhead. Low water pressure is a common issue that tends to be linked to a few common causes, including:
- High demand:Â If multiple appliances or fixtures use water simultaneously, all systems will have less water. This is often the case if you only notice low pressure during certain times of the day, like in the morning when multiple family members are showering and brushing their teeth or at the end of the day when you have dishes, laundry, and more running.
- Closed water valve:Â Ensure your main shut-off valve is fully open. Even a slightly closed valve will reduce the pressure available for your water system.
- Pressure regulator issues:Â If your home has a pressure regulator, it could be set improperly or broken. We recommend that your regulator be set to 50 psi.
- Debris:Â If calcium, magnesium, and other minerals have built up in your water pipes, it could cause more significant corrosion and, as a result, more debris buildup. These buildups blow the flow of water and reduce your pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some signs that my pressure issues may be due to clogged drains?
If you’re experiencing low water pressure and other problems like slow drains, standing water, gurgling noises, or the smell of sewage, the root of the issue could be a clog. With drain cleaning, you’ll often have your water pressure restored.
How does a booster pump work?
A booster pump works much like a fan with an impeller that helps to increase water flow and pressure. These systems are safe for your pipes and often provide significant improvement.
