(Part 4) LOW WATER PRESSURE IN YOUR HOME | WHY IT HAPPENS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO

Living in a home with low water pressure is very frustrating and inefficient. If your home has hard water, it could slowly but surely restrict flow until you’ve got major complications.

You’ll typically notice it first when you’re showering. That’s the place where we all enjoy good water pressure and need it to rinse the soap and shampoo away. However, keep in mind that water pressure problems can also impact other areas of your home.

Washing machines take longer to fill, dishwashers take longer to run through cycles, and faucets painlessly slow down. The first step in addressing the problem is identifying the underlying cause.

Here’s a look at some of the most common reasons why homeowners experience low water pressure as well as some advice on what you can do.

Clogged Pipes

Fixtures aren’t the only things that can become clogged by mineral deposit buildup from hard water. The issue could cause serious plumbing headaches. Clogged pipes are one of the many frequent reasons for low water pressure.

The pipes in your home are a lot like arteries in your body. And, just as cholesterol can clog your veins, limescale can restricts the diameter of piping over time, leading to low water pressure.

You can try quick fixes for clogged pipes, including using chemical products or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Unfortunately, these hacks are meant to work on drain pipes, not the pipes delivering water through your home.

You may not notice there is an issue until you see these issues come up, by then it may be very late.

If you visit friends and family, and notice they have much better water pressure, it could mean yours needs to be examined. A water softener may be your fix.
