Low water pressure may be caused by debris such as dirt, sand, solidified oil and grease, food particles, or foreign objects. Pollutants can block pipes if they back up due to fractures in the water main. Mineral buildup clogs pipes over time and causes the water pressure to go down, as there’s less space for water to travel through.Troubleshoot your low water pressure problems with these helpful fixes that can increase force and improve flow:
- Contact your neighbors
- Check your well pump
- Test the pressure yourself
- Clear the clogs
- Open your main water valve
- Replace the regulator
- Look out for leaks
- Install a home water pressure booster
