Water pressure – it is one of the main plumbing issues for people in Toronto. This means that you have at least one of the faucets in your home provide you with a frustratingly slow trickle of water. Even though it is not necessarily a crisis (more of an inconvenience) it can be indicative of a larger problem.

What are the causes of plumbing tips?

There are a number of problems that may cause low water pressure in a Toronto home. These include:

Low water flow from the city supply
Defective pressure relief valve
Partially-closed main shut-off valve
Damaged or leaky supply pipes
Rusted or blocked water inlet piping.

If you believe that your water pressure is low, but are unsure whether it is an actual problem, you can use a measuring gauge to test the water pressure. You can get these at most hardware stores

It only makes sense to measure your water pressure if you know the values that you are looking for. On the average, you want the pressure to range between 50 pounds per square inch (psi) to 70 psi. Most plumbing fixtures intended for residential use can handle around 80 psi, anything over that could lead to damage. If you have anything lower than 50 psi, you may find that water supply is an issue.

What can you do to avoid plumbing problems?

The cause of the issue is going to determine the solution to your low water pressure. You can check the valves yourself to ensure that they are working correctly. You can replace the damaged sections of pipe if you have piping-related problems.

However, most people are simply unaware of how to determine or resolve these issues. This is why it is a good idea to have a professional plumbing inspection determine what your needs are. In some cases, simply leaky supply pipes can get the water flow back to where it needs to be. In other cases, you may need to excavate to be able to reach damaged pipes. Remember that while water pressure may not appear to be a massive problem, it is often indicative of a larger problem that could develop into a more serious issue. Finding the issue associated with it is important.

Plumbing Testimonials:

Frank, Beaches

I used Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing to renovate all the plumbing in the old house I bought in the beaches. They were able to identify problems quickly, resolve them and prevent them from ever happening again. All of my neighbours suffer from leaking basements and no water pressure, but not to me thanks to this crew. I would recommend them to anybody.

Vladimir, Richmond Hill

Dealing with Dr. Pipe was one of those rare experience when you feel good paying your money. They responded immediately to my phone call and within an hour were at my place. After a quick no obligation analysis they identified source of the problem and offered economical solution. I agreed and in no time our drain worked like it is supposed to. Max was very service oriented and defensibly knows his stuff. I am recommending them to all of my friends and family now.

Helene, North York

My husband and I hired Max and his team to upgrade pool mechanical room in our house. Everybody who gave us an estimate, before them said it was very complicated and will cost at least $80000. Cost of HYDRO and Natural Gas and maintenance with old mechanical room was $2500 per month. Max’s team was able to upgrade the systems in pool mechanical room for way, and I mean way lower that quoted by others and we only pay couple of hundred dollars per month now. I am so glad we called them before making our final decesion.

Anna, Richmond Hill

Rains were crazy last falls and my basement got flooded. I was desperately looking for a company that will waterproof my old home in Toronto for a reasonable amount of money and do it right. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing did just that, they started by telling me to relax on the phone and by taking care of my problem very quickly. They installed new weeping tiles around my house and since that time there was not a single drop that landed in my basement. Thanks guys!
