Your Water Pressure Has Gotten Worse!
At times your water supply lines can clog up with debris. There are a couple ways you can clear the line that are easy and don’t require any tools!
- On your faucets there are end caps called “aerators” that regulate the flow of water and have a small mesh filter. If you unscrew these with your fingers (sometimes you may need a rag or rubber glove to get a better grip) you can turn on your faucet without it to clear debris. Then clean the filter screen before screwing it back on. Your water flow should be better immediately if this was the issue.
- If it’s not the aerator you may need to check your supply line “shut offs” which are located on the wall below the faucet. If these are not in the fully on position, turn them fully on and see if there is a difference.
If neither of these options change the flow of your water you may need us to come out and clear the lines or replace the fixtures. Older buildings can over time change in water flow due to main line work done in the area. In those cases a plumber or handy man would need to get more involved.
