Few things are more frustrating than weak water flow—especially when you’re trying to shower, wash dishes, or run the washing machine. But low water pressure doesn’t always mean you need new pipes.
At Valley Plumbing & Drain Cleaning, we help Utah homeowners fix low water pressure with simple, affordable solutions. Here’s how to restore a strong, steady flow without a full repipe.
1. Check Your Main Shut-Off Valve
Sometimes, the fix is simple. Your home’s main shut-off valve may not be fully open—restricting water flow throughout your house.
Find the valve (usually near your water meter or where the main line enters the home) and turn it fully counterclockwise.
2. Clean Faucet Aerators and Showerheads
Hard water in Utah often leaves mineral deposits that clog fixtures. Unscrew your faucet aerators or showerheads and soak them in vinegar to dissolve buildup.
You’ll be surprised how much this small step can improve flow!
3. Test Your Pressure Regulator
Homes in Utah often have a pressure regulator on the main line. If it fails, it can limit water flow or cause fluctuations.
A plumber can test and adjust the regulator to restore proper pressure—usually between 50–70 psi.
4. Inspect for Leaks
Even small leaks in pipes, toilets, or irrigation systems can reduce overall pressure. If your water bill has spiked or you hear hissing sounds in the walls, it’s time for a leak detection service.
Our technicians use advanced tools to locate leaks quickly—without damaging walls or floors.
5. Schedule a Professional Plumbing Inspection
If you’ve tried everything and your pressure is still low, buildup or corrosion in older pipes could be the culprit. But that doesn’t mean full replacement right away.
Valley Plumbing offers professional inspections and targeted repairs to restore pressure where you need it most—without unnecessary costs.
