What Causes Low Water Pressure?

There are a number of reasons that a home could have low water pressure. From leaks to a malfunctioning pressure regulator, low water pressure can be the result of several different plumbing problems. When it comes to low water pressure, it’s best to leave the identification of why it’s occurring to professional plumbers, like the team here at Stan’s Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical. At Stan’s Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical, our experienced plumbing experts will be able to identify why your home’s plumbing system has low water pressure. To discover why your Austin area home has low water pressure, reach out to Stan’s Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical today!

There are a few things that homeowners can check to try to address low water pressure.

If it appears to be a single fixture with low water pressure, like a sink or a showerhead, then it’s likely an issue with that fixture, and not your home’s pipes and water supply.
For sinks, clogged aerators or cartridges are common reasons for low water pressure. These can be removed with a pair of pliers from the end of the faucet and cleaned with a mixture of water and white vinegar.
For showers, remove the showerhead and inspect for signs of hard water deposits. Cloudy, hard water deposits block the flow of water and decrease water pressure. If you see signs of hard water build-up, soak your shower head in a bowl of water and vinegar overnight, and scrub at any remaining spots in the morning.
If your entire house has low water pressure, check to ensure that the shut-off valve isn’t partially closed. This is typically located underground near the street, in the garage, basement, or similar crawlspace.
Low water pressure is common in homes that are over 20 years old, and an old house can have low water pressure due to clogged pipes. If this is the case, it often requires the assistance of an experienced plumber like the team here at Stan’s Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical.

There are several causes for low water pressure, including mineral deposits, pressure regulator malfunctions, corroded pipes, and more. It usually requires a professional to diagnose the exact cause of low water pressure. Rely on professional plumbers like the team at Stan’s Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical to diagnose what’s causing the low water pressure in your home.

Low water pressure is repaired based on the issue that is causing it. Different issues require different solutions, and there are a number of different issues that could cause low water pressure. For instance, if a mineral deposit is the reason that your water pressure is low, we’ll work to clear your pipes so that water can flow properly.

For the Austin area, you typically want to see a range between 55-62 PSI. Anything higher or below this range indicates a pressure problem. You can check your water pressure by locating the water meter, typically located near the curb in front of your home. Having the ideal water pressure is important, as water pressure that is too high can cause problems as well, including ruptures, leaks, and appliance failures. If a plumber can not identify an issue, the City of Austin will come to your home and perform a diagnostic. Any issues from the house to the street are the responsibility of the homeowner.

How Low Water Pressure Affects Homeowners

Showers

Low water pressure can cause showers to be unpleasant, increase existing soap scum on the skin, and increase the required time to take a decent shower. Low water pressure in the shower is one of the most common dead giveaways that your home has low water pressure due to how noticeable the difference can be. Common reasons for low water pressure in the shower are clogged nozzles as a result of mineral deposits, old shower heads that require replacement, corroded pipes, or undetected leaks.

Sinks & Faucets

When low water pressure affects sinks and faucets, handwashing dishes can take an exorbitant amount of time and effort. Low water pressure within sinks and faucets can also extend the time necessary to bathe infants, cook, clean, and do all the other common household tasks that involve the sink. The most common reasons for low water pressure in a sink are a clogged aerator or a clogged cartridge. These are often simple fixes that a plumber can fix on their first visit.

Toilets

If your toilet has low water pressure, it will take considerably longer to fill than usual after a flush. Low water pressure within toilets can also require multiple flushes in order to get the job done entirely. If the toilet doesn’t flush properly, it can lead to clogging as there is not enough water pressure flowing through the waste pipe. If you’re experiencing low water pressure in your toilet, contact the team at Stan’s Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical today.

Home Appliances

Home appliances are another place where low water pressure is clearly evident. Within the dishwasher, low water pressure will cause dishes to not be fully clean after a wash. About washing machines, soaps and detergents can remain on clothing even after a full cycle has been performed. Low water pressure also tends to reduce the life span of dishwashers and laundry machines alike, as well as the energy efficiency of these appliances.

We switched from another plumbing and HVAC service to Stan's and we couldn't be more happy. Their prices are way more affordable, their personnel are much more knowledgeable, and they can get to you usually very quick - especially important if say your AC blows out in the middle of summer (which it did)! Highly recommend!

B. Parker

Aldarbert was very knowledgeable. He helped me to make the best decision for my Tesla and he installed it quickly. I was able to tested it out before he left, which worked perfectly as soon as him plug it in. I definitely recommend him and the company. Thanks!

Marva B.

Mr Robert Mendoza and Mr Daniel did an amazing Job replacing my evaporator coil which leaked with the new one. He took the time out to explain to me every detail he was doing as I asked questions. They both did a outstanding job. They made sure they put plastic down on my wooden floors as well

Larry D.

Showed up the next morning to check out the situation. Julian Rodriguez showed up later that afternoon with the new hot water heater. He explained everything he was doing during the process. Very thorough, polite & professional. Cleaned up the area he was working in and removed all the debris and old parts.

Aimee B.

“Stan’s has serviced our furnace and air conditioner for the past 15 years and was recommended by the former homeowner. They are knowledgeable and professional. As a longstanding company, the techs are prompt, friendly and trustworthy. I highly recommend them.”
