Birmingham Low Water Pressure Repair
We Have Solutions to Your Low Water Pressure Issues
Low water pressure is annoying and extremely inconvenient. While some fixes
are relatively easy, the condition can be a symptom of a larger problem.
Even if your utility company delivers water at a suitable pressure, that
doesn’t guarantee it will be sufficient in your home. Low water
pressure can turn simple tasks like washing clothes or taking a shower
into miserable experiences. If you notice your water or shower pressure
is low and dropping, call our Birmingham water pressure experts at Benjamin
Franklin Plumbing.
Our team of Birmingham plumbers have the experience needed to solve your
low water pressure issues! Call us today at (205) 351-0706 to find out
how we can help you.
What Are the Causes of Low Water Pressure?
Low water pressure can be caused by many different things. Some of the
more common problems are relatively easy to repair, including clogged
aerator screens, worn faucets, and partially closed valves. Sometimes
you won’t be able to fix water pressure problems easily, and you’ll
need the services of a professional plumber.
Common causes of low water pressure include the following:
- Clogged fixtures
- Closed or partially closed water valves
- Clogged water pipes
- Faulty pressure regulators
- Corroded pipes
- Inadequate main water supply line
Debris Build-Up & Corrosion
If you have hard water, your pipes are always battling the effects of corrosion.
Over time, the interior diameter of a corroded pipe grows smaller, which
limits the amount of water that can pass through it. Eventually, this
will decrease the pressure in your home. If you have older galvanized
pipes and low water pressure, you may want to consider repiping your home
to replace your outdated plumbing system.
Aging piping systems can also be clogged with a buildup of debris that
negatively impacts the water flow. If low water pressure is only affecting
a single fixture, you may have a clogged distributing pipe or valve.
Shared Main Water
A shared water supply is commonly found in multifamily housing. Two or
more families using water from one incoming supply pipe can cause pressure
fluctuations or low water pressure when several fixtures are open at the
same time. This condition is most noticeable during peak hours of use,
especially in the morning when most people shower.
