What causes low water pressure?

Pressure – No matter what the pressure is in our mains network, the plumbing arrangement for the water pipes in your home may substantially reduce that pressure by the time it gets to your taps.

Flow – Along with pressure, your water pipes may also be restricting the flow of water to your taps. In other words, the maximum amount of water your pipes can carry will be affected by:

The size of the pipes (diameter)
Corrosion in the pipes and on appliances
The demand for water in your property at any one time
Any leaks you may have on your supply pipe
To help you track down the problem and manage your water pressure, we have provided examples of the most common types of problems in Tracking down your water-pressure problem
