In order for pipes and fixtures to work well, water needs to flow at the correct pressure. If the pressure of your water isn't sufficient, a plumber in Alameda County, CA, from General Plumbing & Rooter can help you find out why. Below, we point out some of the signs that suggest you have issues with low water pressure.
Dribbling Fixtures
Low water pressure isn't always an obvious emergency plumbing situation. For instance, you might have water pressure that seems fine until you run your fixtures and they start to go from a normal stream to a slow dribble. This can happen if you have water pressure that starts off strong and tappers off.
Temperature-Specific Pressure Dips
Water pressure problems are sometimes associated with temperature. So, you may, for example, have normal water pressure until your water heats up. With situations like this, your water heater may be the culprit. However, the only way to find out for sure is to contact a plumber in Alameda County CA from our team to get an accurate diagnosis.
Pressure Drops When Water Is Used Elsewhere In the Home
A plumbing system with the right pressure should be able to handle multiple instances of water use without the pressure dropping off too often. You may need plumbing repairs, however, if your pressure regularly drops off whenever water is used elsewhere in your home. For instance, running the dishwasher might cause water to drop in your shower.
