Water Pressure Problems

Low Water Pressure? Call BODEK INC. For All Your Water Pressure Problems. 

Tired of your shower being a trickle of water? Does your washing machine take forever to fill? Low water pressure is to blame. Leaking pipes and corroded pipework can cause pressure issues. Lime deposits can also create clogs that restrict the flow of water. 

 

Is this problem limited to one fixture or area of your house? Or is the problem throughout the house? If you see a visible leak, do not wait to call. This can quickly escalate into a more serious and expensive problem that can lead to severe damage. It is vital that the leak is repaired by replacing or upgrading the pipework.

 

BODEK INC. will be with you every step of the way of diagnosing and repairing your water pressure problem. Call us at 607-777-9974 to schedule your service today.

Common Causes Of Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure can be caused by a wide variety of problems: clogs, leaks, worn-out fixtures, mineral buildup, and closed valves, to name a few common causes. Sometimes, simply opening up a partially closed water valve is all it takes to get your water flowing again. Other times, fixing your water pressure might be a more involved process that requires a professional, such as repairing or replacing a pressure regulator or fixing leaks, corroded pipes, and stubborn clogs.

WATER PRESSURE QUICK CHECKS:

If you're experiencing low water pressure in your home, there are a few things you can do to quickly check for some of the most common causes of low water pressure:

Check that water valves are fully open.

This includes those near the water meter and the water main. Make sure that any shutoffs under sinks weren't inadvertently closed.

Narrow down the pressure problem.

If it is a specific fixture, the problem could be the faucet or shower itself. Run hot water and check the pressure. Turn off. Run cold water and check pressure. Turn off. Run both simultaneously and check pressure. Is the pressure low on both or only one? If your water pressure is low for hot water, but not cold water, then it may be a problem with your water heater.

Check for clogs and leaks.

You can have low water pressure because of a leaking toilet or water main.
