The Pipe Medic offers unmatched and highly specialized drain inspection, pipe lining, and drain cleaning in Marietta,GA. Many clients come to us with issues of reduced water pressure in their sinks, shower heads, dishwashers, and other plumbing fixtures. Understanding the cause of the low pressure is key to helping us find the best solutions.
Here are some of the leading culprits behind low water pressure, plus the ways that our drain cleaning company can help provide solutions.
Using Multiple Faucets
Running different fixtures at once causes water pressure to drop. It could also happen for clients who share pipelines with other homes.
Clogged Drain
A clogged drain can be the result of tree intrusion or dirt, grease, food waste, hair, or mineral buildup in the pipes. Corrosion can also cause oxidation to build up on the walls of steel pipes, which narrows the diameter of the pipe and makes it difficult for water to pass through.
There are different ways to deal with a clog, but hydro jetting is our best and most efficient because it eliminates the widest array of clogs.
Leaks
When there is a leak in pipes, a considerable amount of water goes through the leak, leaving little water to reach the fixture. Other signs of leaks include water puddles, mold and mildew growth, damp smells, and the sound of running or gushing water even when there are no faucets being used. We offer drain cleaning services, but we also specialize in pipe repair and could help you in case of pipe leaks.
Faulty Pressure Regulator
Manufacturers usually set pressure regulators between 45 and 60 psi to ensure safe water pressure from fixtures.
Closed Water Valve
Shut-off valves control how much water gets into a home from the main water supply into different fixtures. Water pressure would drop if it is closed or only partially open. While some homeowners can locate and adjust the valve, we advise clients to call their water provider to conduct the adjustments instead.
