How to Create the Perfect Water Pressure for your Home

Everyone hates a shower without any water pressure. It takes twice as much time to wash the dishes or water your plants without any pressure in the water. Problems of water pressure occur at every household and a lot of people simply live with these problems because they have no idea of how to overcome them or to stop them from happening.

Water Pressure in Urban Areas

In urban areas, most people get their water from the municipal company. In the main lines set underground, the water pressure is extremely high. While reaching your home, the friction in the pipe causes the water to lose its pressure; even more pressure is dropped when it circulates in your pipelines before coming out of the faucet. The friction in the pipes gets higher and higher the smaller the space gets. When the water that comes out of your taps has low pressure, it means that there is a lot of friction between the main water supply and your faucets.

A lot of time, the lack of friction is simply the pipe being too small. A pipe with only a half inch space between its walls will cause many times more friction then a pipe with a distance of ¾ inch between its walls. Simply by consulting a professional plumbing repair service and hiring them to replace your half inch pipes with ¾ inch pipes can lessen the friction considerable and put more pressure in the water. People who are in the process of building homes should be careful to install pipes with larger flow area in their homes; this can be done quite economically as compared to when your house is fully built and you have to tar its walls down to replace the pipes.

Low Pressure Due to Blockage

Blockage due to chemical buildup, tree roots and debris can also cause low pressure in pipes. Water contains sediments; when this water flows in the pipe, it leaves their residue on the walls of the pipes. Over time this residue becomes accumulated and shortens the width of the pipe, creating more friction and lessening the water pressure. Professional plumbing services can check whether the flow of the water is disrupted because the pipe is too small or is getting blocked; this can be done easily by analyzing a section of the pipe on a sink where the water pressure is low. If sediment accumulation is the problem, some chemicals can be used to dissolve and flush out the minerals and this can result in an increase in the water pressure.
