Why Your Home Has Low Water Pressure?

Clogged drains and pipes are a common issue which every house hold has faced at some point of time. Everyone knows about some basic DIY’s when there is a clogged drain issue. But what to do when you are having low water pressure in your shower and faucets. Most of us don’t know where to look for the cause when such problem arise. Here we will talk about 5 reasons why your home has low water pressure.  

1. Check your home’s main shut-off valve. This is located where the main water pipe enters your home. If the valve handle is not parallel to the pipe then this means that the valve is not fully open and is restricting the flow of water right from the beginning. This could be the issue and to resolve this make sure that the valve handle is fully turned and is parallel to the pipe.
2. If the above solutions doesn’t resolve the issue then, the next possible reason for low water pressure could be a faulty water pressure regulator. As the name suggests, a pressure regulator controls the water pressure throughout the home. Only a professional plumber can fix the issue, so waste no time and call a professional plumber in Dubai to fit it safely.
3. If you are facing low water pressure in a single or a couple of faucet and not all the outlets then this might be caused by a clogged aerator. An aerator can sometimes get rusted and clogged by debris that gets accumulated over time. You can easily fix the issue, unscrew the screen of the faucet, clean the aerator and reconnect it.
4. If you plumbing is too old then there is a possibility that there is a build-up of minerals and other debris in your home’s plumbing. This is the cause of low water pressure in your home’s plumbing system. To resolve this issue the corroded pipes will need to be replaced and this is a job of a professional plumber in Dubai.
5. The next reason could be a cracked or leaking pipe within your walls. A leaking pipe if not addressed on time could cause a major problem. This will not only damage your walls but also will develop mold and fungus around the wet area. Immediately call in a professional plumber and get the leak repaired before it becomes a major issue.
