DIAGNOSING WATER PRESSURE PROBLEMS
Find the Cause of Low Water Pressure quickly & efficiently
Low water pressure can affect showers, taps, heating systems and appliances throughout a property. MJY Utilities investigates water pressure problems for homeowners, landlords and businesses across Walsall, Wolverhampton and the wider West Midlands.
The cause may be within the internal plumbing or connected to the underground supply pipe serving the property. Common problems include hidden water leaks, restricted or corroded pipes, partially closed valves, ageing lead or alkathene supplies and pipework that is too small for the property’s current water requirements.
Some older properties are also connected through shared water supply pipes. When several homes use water at the same time, the available flow can drop noticeably, particularly during busy periods. Installing a separate dedicated supply may provide a more consistent long-term solution where a shared connection is responsible.
Our team will assess how the pressure problem affects the property, inspect accessible plumbing and investigate the incoming supply. Once the likely cause has been identified, we can explain whether a repair, pipe replacement, new connection or further investigation is required.
COMMON PRESSURE PROBLEMS
Signs Your Water Supply Needs Investigating
Low water pressure may affect the whole property or only one particular tap, shower or appliance. When the problem is limited to one fitting, it may be caused by a blocked outlet, faulty valve or an issue within the internal plumbing. Pressure problems throughout the property are more likely to involve the incoming supply or underground pipework.
A sudden reduction in pressure can be a sign that a leak has developed. Other warning signs may include an unexplained increase in water bills, wet ground outside the property, water meter movement when nothing is being used or the sound of water escaping.
Pressure that has gradually worsened over time can be connected to ageing or restricted pipework. Older lead, copper and alkathene supplies may have a smaller internal diameter or may have deteriorated, limiting the amount of water that reaches the property.
Pressure can also vary at different times of day due to demand on the wider network or a shared supply. MJY Utilities will help establish whether the problem is within your responsibility and recommend appropriate work where the private water supply requires repair or upgrading.
