Low Water Pressure Troubleshooting and Repair

When you turn on your shower or washing machine and notice weak flow or intermittent pressure, the cause could be anywhere in your well system, from the pump at the bottom of your well to the pressure tank in your basement. Allied Water Services diagnoses the specific source of pressure loss by testing your system at multiple points, checking pump performance, inspecting tank air charge levels, and looking for leaks or blockages in your water lines.

Pressure problems often stem from a failing pressure switch, a waterlogged tank that no longer holds air correctly, or a pump that can't keep up with household demand. In some cases, sediment buildup in the lines or a partially closed valve restricts flow without any equipment failure. We measure your static and dynamic pressure, compare it to what your system should be delivering, and explain what's causing the drop and what needs to be repaired or replaced.

If you're dealing with weak flow at multiple fixtures or pressure that drops off when more than one tap is running, contact us to schedule a diagnostic visit.

How Our Process Works

We start by asking when the pressure issue began, whether it affects all fixtures or just certain ones, and if you've noticed any changes in water clarity or pump cycling. This helps narrow down whether the issue is mechanical, hydraulic, or related to your well's water production. We then test pressure at the tank, at the wellhead, and at key fixtures to pinpoint where the drop occurs.

Once we identify the cause, Allied Water Services walks you through the repair or replacement options. You'll notice immediate improvement in flow rate and consistency after we address the underlying issue, whether that means adjusting your pressure switch, replacing a failing tank bladder, or upgrading an undersized pump. Most repairs restore your system to full performance within a few hours.

In cases where your household water demand has increased since the original system was installed, we may recommend a larger pressure tank or a more powerful pump to support additional bathrooms, appliances, or irrigation. This service does not include plumbing fixture repairs or municipal water system issues. If your well is producing less water than before, we'll discuss whether that's a seasonal issue or a sign that your well's yield has declined.

Homeowners often want to know what's causing their pressure loss, how long repairs take, and whether their entire system needs to be replaced.

What are the most common causes of low water pressure in well systems?

The most frequent issues are waterlogged pressure tanks, failing pressure switches, and pumps that no longer match household demand. Sediment buildup and leaks also reduce pressure over time.

How do you determine whether the pump or the tank is the problem?
We test pressure at multiple points and monitor how quickly the pump cycles on and off. A pump that runs constantly or a tank that loses pressure quickly usually points to one or the other.

Will fixing low pressure improve flow at all my fixtures?
Yes, if the issue is in your well system. If only one fixture has weak flow, the problem is likely in that specific line or valve, which is a separate plumbing repair.

How long does a typical pressure repair take?
Most repairs, like replacing a pressure switch or adjusting a tank, take a few hours. Pump replacements or system upgrades may take longer depending on well depth and access.

What should I do if pressure drops again after the repair?
Recurring pressure loss can indicate a leak in your lines, a well with declining yield, or an undersized system. We can inspect further and recommend upgrades if needed.

If your household is dealing with weak or inconsistent water pressure, reach out to schedule a diagnostic visit and we'll identify the cause and recommend the right repair or upgrade for your system.
