Why Does Your Showerhead Has Low Water Pressure?

Low water pressure in your shower can be frustrating, but the solution might be simpler than you think. Here’s what to do:

Step 1: Clean Your Showerhead

Over time, showerheads can become clogged with dirt, mineral deposits, or sediment, which restricts water flow. Start by removing the showerhead and giving it a thorough cleaning. You can soak it in a solution of white vinegar and water to dissolve any buildup, then rinse it well and reinstall it.

Step 2: Check for Sediment or Debris

If cleaning the showerhead doesn’t restore the water pressure, inspect it for sediment or debris. Mineral buildup can sometimes block water flow and signal a larger plumbing issue.

Step 3: Call a Professional

If you don’t find any blockages, or if sediment continues to appear, it could indicate an issue deeper within your plumbing system. In this case, it’s time to call Adams Plumbing & Drain for expert help. Their team can diagnose the problem and ensure your water pressure is restored quickly and efficiently.

Remember, maintaining your plumbing system and addressing small issues early can prevent larger, more costly problems in the future. Reach out to professionals if needed!
