There are a few things that homeowners can check to try and address low water pressure.
There are a number of causes for low water pressure including mineral deposits, pressure regulator malfunctions, corroded pipes, and more. It usually requires a professional to diagnose the exact cause of low water pressure. Rely on professional plumbers like the team at Stan’s to diagnose what’s causing the low water pressure in your home.
Low water pressure is repaired based on the issue that is causing it. Different issues require different solutions, and there are a number of different issues that could cause low water pressure. For instance, if a mineral deposit is the reason that your water pressure is low, we’ll work to clear your pipes so that water can flow properly.
For the Austin area, you typically want to see a range between 55-62 PSI. Anything higher or below this range indicates a pressure problem. You can check your water pressure by locating the water meter, typically located near the curb in front of your home. Having the ideal water pressure is important as water pressure that is too high can cause problems as well, including ruptures, leaks, and appliance failures. If a plumber can not identify an issue, the City of Austin will come to your home and perform a diagnostic. Any issues from the house to the street are the responsibility of the homeowner.

Low water pressure can cause showers to be unpleasant, increase present soap scum on the skin, and increase the required time to take a decent shower. Low water pressure in the shower is one of the most common dead giveaways that your home has low water pressure due to how noticeable the difference can be. Common reasons for low water pressure in the shower are clogged nozzles as a result of mineral deposits, old shower heads that require replacement, corroded pipes or undetected leaks.
When low water pressure is affecting sinks and faucets, handwashing dishes can take an exorbitant amount of time and effort. Low water pressure within sinks and faucets can also extend the time necessary to bathe infants, cook, clean, and do all the other common household tasks that involve the sink. The most common reasons for low water pressure in a sink are a clogged aerator or a clogged cartridge. These are often simple fixes that a plumber can fix on their first visit.

If your toilet has low water pressure, it will take considerably longer to fill than usual after a flush. Low water pressure within toilets can also require multiple flushes in order to get the job done entirely. If the toilet doesn’t flush properly, it can lead to clogging as there is not enough water pressure flowing through the waste pipe. If you’re experiencing low water pressure in your toilet, contact the team at Stan’s Heating, Air & Plumbing today.
Home appliances are another place where low water pressure is clearly evident. Within the dishwasher, low water pressure will cause dishes to be not fully clean after a wash. With regard to washing machines, soaps and detergents can remain on clothing even after a full cycle has been performed. Low water pressure also tends to reduce the life span of dishwashers and laundry machines alike, as well as the energy efficiency of these appliances.
