We Resolve Water Pressure Issues

When a plumber from Aladdin’s plumbing investigates the loss of water pressure, the first step is to discover how many plumbing fixtures are experiencing low pressure. It may affect one fixture, all fixtures in a certain room, or every fixture throughout your house. This will help the plumber trace what the issue might be. The plumbing fixtures that will be checked include: Dishwasher, Sink faucets, Toilet, Shower, Bathtub, Washing machine, Outdoor faucet, and Hose hookups.

Each fixture will be tested for both hot and cold temperatures. Is the water pressure only low on the hot setting? Is it only on the cold setting, or is it low for both? For example, if you find that the pressure is only low when a fixture is on the hot water setting, for instance, then the issue could lie with your water heater. Recent repair resulting in a reduction of water pressure throughout your house may be due to the valve not being fully open. The valve is fully open when the valve handle is parallel with the water pipe. If the handle is set at an angle to the pipe, it is not fully open. Not all homes have them, but a faulty pressure regulator or pressure-reducing valve could be the issue as well.
