Low Water Pressure Repair Toronto

There are some scenarios which could play out where low water pressure could ruin your day. This can be prevented or easily fixed if you take time to inspect your water supply system for any faults. But we’re sure you’d be very busy right now and just need the water running properly again. This is why you should call AquaRescue Drain and Plumber Toronto Company to properly inspect your supply line and fix the issue with time to spare. Here are some of the reasons why there could be low water pressure in your home water supply system;

 

• Corrosion of Your Steel Supply Pipes - this is mostly common in homes built before the advent of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes for the supply line. The steel piping may get rusty gradually from the constant flow of water through it which oxidizes the inner layer of the pipe. This event in the pipe builds up and causes the inner layer of the pipe to corrode blocking off some off the water’s pressure from getting to your direct supply line successfully. The corrosion of your steel pipes is a buffer of sorts as the water cannot travel past at the required speed to deliver potable water to your home. This can easily be fixed by our professional plumbers at AquaRescue.

• Shut-Off Valve May Be Closed or Faulty - the shut-off valve is meant to stop water supply in the house when you want it to, or in the event of an emergency. The shut-off valve should be checked if it is partially closed as this may be the reason why the water runs slowly. Also, you can check the shut-off valve to see if it has any issues as they may get jammed if not turned for a very long while making it difficult to open or close your water supply system. Call our customer service team today, and we’ll send our professional plumbers right to your doorstep.

• Check The Pressure Regulator For Issue - the pressure regulator is meant to control the water pressure in your home in areas where the supply pressure is considerably higher than others. The pressure regulator should be checked periodically to make sure it’s working fine as a faulty water pressure control device could send very low-pressure water into your home.

• Water Meter Valve May Be Partially Closed - the water meter valve is used to account for the volume of water used in your home, and this helps the water distribution company to accurately bill the usage of H2O in your home. The water meter valve can also cause a low water pressure experience in the house. This can be as a result of the valve within the meter being closed a bit, and the water sent into the home will have a much-reduced pressure.

• Faucet Filter Issues - your faucet filter or aerator may be the reason why there’s low water pressure in the house. The faucet should be inspected by an experienced plumber for any blockages and fixed appropriately. This can be fixed by licensed plumbers from Aqua Rescue.

• Leaks in the Supply System -a leak in the supply line to your home is one of the reasons why low water pressure is coming through your taps and showerheads. A leak before getting to your direct supply will cause water pressure to be greatly dissipated before it gets to your sinks. This can be fixed by supply line maintenance and fixes where necessary. Depending on the leak, you may have to replace some of the piping supplying water to your home.

• Old or Sub-Standard Fixtures - if your fixtures are too old or low quality, it may be the cause of the low water pressure into your home. An old plastic pipe may change shape and interfere with the pressure flow of your water supply, while a metal fixture may corrode over time. This is why it is necessary to utilize maintenance and repairs for your supply line to prevent the incidence of low water pressure.

• Clogging in the Supply Pipes - clogging in the supply pipes can be caused by impurities in the water supply line before they get to your water heater. This can be fixed by locating the problem and using the various unclogging methods available.

• Inappropriate Supply Piping - if the pipe that supplies water to your home is inadequate for the needs of your home, then the occurrence of low water pressure may be frequent. This is why you should make use of the best professional plumbers in Toronto from AquaRescue.

• Gradually Freezing Pipes - in the winter season, an exposed supply line pipe may get frozen gradually and limit the pressure of the water supplied into your home. This can be fixed by thawing and insulating the pipe from the elements.
