There’s nothing more frustrating than stepping into the shower and feeling more of a drizzle than a stream. Low water pressure can disrupt your entire routine, from washing dishes to doing laundry. At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we help homeowners across Mobile, Saraland, Daphne, and surrounding areas get their pressure problems under control quickly and reliably.
Let’s break down the most common causes of low water pressure and what you can do about them.
.
🔧 Common Causes of Low Water Pressure
- Pipe Corrosion and Blockages
- Over time, older pipes can accumulate rust and mineral deposits, restricting water flow. This often occurs in homes with galvanized steel pipes. If you notice discolored water or reduced pressure in multiple fixtures, the problem could be corroded or blocked pipes. Replacing old pipes or cleaning out blockages is essential to prevent further pressure loss, and Adams Plumbing & Drain Company handles these repairs throughout Mobile and Baldwin County with ease. We also offer whole-home repiping.
- Leaks in Your Plumbing System
- Even small leaks can lead to significant pressure drops as water escapes the system. Look for damp spots, sudden increases in water bills, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off. If you can’t locate the source of the leak, our team at Adams Plumbing & Drain Company can perform a thorough inspection and fix leaks to restore proper water flow.
- 📌 Important Note: While we don’t perform leak detection, we work with trusted partners to locate hard-to-find leaks and then handle the full repair ourselves.
- Faulty Pressure Regulator
- Your home’s pressure regulator ensures water enters at a safe and consistent level. If it malfunctions, water pressure can drop or spike unexpectedly. Testing with a pressure gauge can reveal problems, but replacing the regulator is a task best left to professionals like Adams Plumbing & Drain Company.
💡 Other Factors That May Affect Water Pressure
- Municipal Supply Issues
- Sometimes the problem is outside your home. Water main breaks, fire hydrant usage, or high demand in your area can temporarily drop pressure.
- 👉 When in doubt, check with your local water provider. If the issue is on your property, we’re here to help.
- Outdated Fixtures and Valves
- Even if your pipes are fine, older fixtures can choke off the flow. Mineral buildup, worn-out cartridges, or outdated aerators can all lead to weak pressure.
- Upgrading to modern, water-efficient faucets and showerheads can solve the problem and save on your water bill.
- We handle fixture replacements and bathroom remodels that boost both pressure and performance.
