Low Water Pressure? We Proudly Service Yolo and Solano Counties
When it comes to water pressure, what one person thinks is adequate might come across as a trickle to another. Because opinions vary widely, it is important to be able to make a determination of the adequacy of water pressure in some definitive way.
Low water pressure in faucets and showers has become a daily routine nowadays. There's nothing more annoying than spending twice the usual time washing dishes, especially in this fast-paced life where consumers want one-click solution for most of the things. But what's more interesting is that many households bear with this nuisance for long as they are unaware how to fix this simple plumbing problem.
If you have old galvanized pipes, they may be clogged full of residue and sediment. Another scenario is a home with pipe diameters that are not adequate to carry the water well. You may also have a leak. If it is on your side of the water meter, you are losing money every minute the water pours through the crack.
Same Day Service Plumbing can quickly inspect all of the possible causes and will usually be able to provide a quick solution for low water pressure.
Common Causes of Damaged Water Pipes
Frozen Pipes: If the temperature falls below the freezing point, there is a risk your pipes could freeze. Frozen pipes will crack and then burst spilling large amounts of water all over the floor.
Corrosion: If you have old pipes that are corroding, there is a risk that the pipe will crack and then burst. Corrosion can be caused by soil and water that corrodes the exterior metal and eventually works its way into the pipe leaving it weakened.
Aging Water Pipes: As water pipes age their strength and durability are diminished. They become more brittle and more prone to fractures. The older the pipes, the higher the likelihood they will break.
Physical Damage: If one is having construction work or renovations done in the home or on the property, and a water pipe is accidentally hit by a piece of equipment or tool, there is a chance the pipe could break open.
Too Much Pressure in Pipes: If your water pump is not functioning properly which leads to a build of pressure within the water pipes, it could cause the pipes to rupture and break.
Improperly Installed Water Pipes: If pipes are not installed properly, the result could be a break in the pipe. Professionals will make sure the pipes are correctly installed and the joints are tight and sealed properly.
Poor Quality Pipes: If you install pipes that are of a poor quality, there is a good chance that over time, they will breakdown and burst. A defective product will also result in a pipe breaking.
Long Term Crack: If there is a small crack in the pipe that is leaking over a long period, it will eventually expand due to water, pressure, and corrosion. The water in the pipe will eventually break through the crack resulting in a burst pipe.
