Low water pressure can turn a simple task, such as showering or washing dishes, into a long, frustrating process. Too many homeowners choose to live with their low pressure, but you don’t have to.

Werner Well & Pump Service LLC is your trusted, family well and pump company in New Milford, CT. Al Sr. and Alan Jr. have shared some insight regarding potential causes for your low water pressure.

Buildup

Debris, such as sand or dirt, can infiltrate your plumbing. The screens on many plumbing fixtures, even washing machines can become clogged over time and a simple cleaning may resolve the issue. Mineral buildup is also common, the water from your water well running through the pipes can leave behind deposits, resulting in a slow buildup. If mineral build up is the issue, there are different ways of tackling the problem that can be discussed.

Water Pump Problems

If you can’t find a problem within your house, the issue could be outside. Your well’s water pump is subject to problems also, or a leak in the pipe carrying your water from the well into your home could cause low pressure throughout your entire home. A well pump service will determine if there are any issues, and they will repair or replace the necessary parts.

Corrosion

When the PH of your water is to low it becomes acidic and it is possible for the insides of plumbing to corrode, this can block the water supply similarly to debris or mineral buildup. The best option is to replace any corroded pipes as well as to place water treatment on the system to prevent any further corrosion.

Low water pressure can be indicative of a larger problem, which should be addressed. When the problem is fixed, you’ll get your water pressure back and peace of mind knowing your plumbing is in top condition.
