Troubleshooting Water Pressure Issues in Santa Maria
Is Your Water Pressure Too Low? We Can Help!
If your water pressure is too low, it's hard to get anything clean. Low water pressure leads to frustrating baths, inefficient laundry machines, and chronically dirty dishes - especially if you're hand washing the plates! Our plumbers at Jack's All-American Plumbing can quickly assess and correct your water pressure problems to get you back on track.
We Also Help with High-Pressure Water
While low-pressure water is frustrating, high-pressure water, on the other hand, can damage your pipes. Your pipes are designed to operate under a certain amount of pressure; increase that pressure for an extended length of time and you risk leaks, breaks, and flooding.
Whether your water pressure at home is too low or too high, our professional plumbers in Santa Maria can help! Schedule a service call by reaching out to us at (805) 367-5027.
Causes of Water Pressure Problems
Low or high water pressure can be caused by a number of factors:
- Incorrectly connected fixtures, especially faucets and hoses
- Worn out aerator
- Water valves that need to be replaced - specifically the PRV
- Leaking toilets
- A partially closed shut-off valve
When the Hot Water Pressure Is Too Low
If you notice that the water from your faucet is fine when running cold but quickly becomes too low when you turn to run hot water, the problem is likely rooted in your water heater. The water heater can be temperamental, and if any of the valves have been jostled it will affect the pressure of all the hot water in your home.
When your problem stems from the water heater, we specifically look at the shut-off valve. Even if the valve is slightly turned toward the "off" position, it will affect the pressure of your whole home. Making sure this valve is secure can help correct your water pressure problems.
Our Santa Maria plumbers look forward to helping you solve your water pressure problems. Call Jack's All-American Plumbing at (805) 367-5027 to schedule a service today.
