Is there anything more frustrating than having low water pressure in your pipes? Imagine doing the laundry or washing the dishes but every time you turn on the faucet, nothing comes out but a weak stream of water that is nowhere near enough to get whatever chore you’re doing done. Low water pressure can be a result of an underlying plumbing issue within your home or it could be just one symptom of a much bigger problem.
Let our professional plumbers and craftsmen at Handyman Connection® of Winter Park show you a few ways to accurately check whether you have pressure problems and what you can do about them.
Water Pressure Gauges
The first step is to actually check the pressure with a water pressure gauge. This instrument is easy to use even if you don’t have any plumbing experience. It screws easily on to an outdoor spigot the same way a regular garden hose does. Before you turn on the faucet, make sure all water connections inside your home are turned off, including your dishwasher and washer. The gauge tells you the water pressure in psi (pounds-per-square-inch). Normal pressure levels range from 60 to 75 psi. Anything below these numbers would indicate a problem.
The Surrounding Areas
A water pressure gauge, however, will not indicate whether the problem is municipal-wide or just in your home. Ask around your neighborhood if they are having the same water pressure issues as you are. If they do, there’s a chance that it’s a problem with your service provider, in which case, you can give them a call and ask for updates. If your neighbors don’t have the same problem, however, then you will need a professional plumber to come and visit you right away.
Checking for Leaks
Lastly, you also want to check your home for leaks. Leaking pipes are a common cause of water pressure problems and must be addressed immediately by a professional plumber. Use your water pressure gauge to measure pressure readings from different sections of your home to further pinpoint the problem.
