One fixture
A single tap with low flow usually has a clogged aerator, a scaled cartridge or a partly closed shut-off. We clean or replace the restriction.
The whole house
If every fixture is weak, we check the main shut-off, any pressure-reducing valve on the incoming line, and the size and condition of the service line. Corroded galvanized pipe or a failing PRV can choke the supply. We test pressure with a gauge and repair the cause.
Signs this is the job you need
- Weak shower flow
- Toilets slow to refill
- Pressure drops when another tap runs
- Sudden drop after work on the street
- Rusty water with low flow
Talk it through with a plumber
One call to (365) 364-2776 reaches someone who can tell you what the job involves and when a van can be at the door.
How the work goes
- We test pressure at an outside tap.
- We check fixtures individually.
- We inspect the main valve and PRV.
- We repair or replace the restriction.
- We re-test pressure.
Hot side only?
Weak on the hot side alone? The trouble is probably at the tank.
- A partly closed valve at the tank, a clogged dip tube or heavy sediment can all choke the hot side while the cold runs fine.
- That narrows the search to one corner of the utility room.
Asked on the phone line
Is weak pressure a safety issue?
Rarely, though it can be the first clue to corrosion or a hidden leak.
Can you increase pressure?
We can adjust a PRV within safe limits.
How a call to us runs
- You ring (365) 364-2776 and a person picks up, not a menu.
- We ask where the water is, what you have already shut off and what decade the building went up in.
- We say when the van should pull up and what to do until it does.
- On site we show you the fault, give a firm price before starting and clean up after.
