Simple steps you can safely do at home before calling a professional.
This checklist helps you determine whether your low water pressure issue is caused by a simple fixable factor or if it requires a licensed technician to diagnose the underlying plumbing problem.
Make sure the main shutoff valve inside your home is fully open. Even a partially closed valve can cause whole-house pressure loss.
Try faucets in different rooms. If the issue only affects one fixture, the problem is usually localized (aerator, cartridge, debris). If it affects the entire house, the cause is deeper in the system.
If the hot water only is weak, the issue may be inside the water heater — not the whole plumbing system.
Mineral debris often collects in faucet aerators and showerheads. Unscrew, rinse, reinstall — sometimes this alone restores normal pressure.
After repairs, valves are often left partially closed by accident. Double-check any fixture shutoffs that were recently serviced.
Does pressure rise and fall randomly? That may indicate a failing PRV (pressure regulator) or a supply inconsistency.
Outdoor spigots, crawlspaces, and basements can hide small leaks that affect pressure.
If you've gone through this checklist and your water pressure is still weak, a diagnostic is the safest next step.
