Low pressure, fluctuating pressure, weak showers — we diagnose and fix it in one visit.
Why is the shower in your master bath weak when nothing else is running? Why does the kitchen sink lose pressure the moment the dishwasher kicks on? Why does the upstairs bathroom take twice as long to fill the tub as it did two years ago?
Bad water pressure looks like a mystery. It almost never is. It's almost always one of about six things, and the right plumber can tell you which one inside an hour.
Book a pressure diagnostic if any of these match your situation in Austin:
The shower used to be strong and now it isn't.
Pressure drops noticeably when someone flushes a toilet or starts the dishwasher.
The upstairs bathrooms have weak flow even when nothing else is running.
Your faucet pressure varies by time of day for no reason you can identify.
A new whole-house filter or softener was installed and pressure has been off ever since.
The PRV steps city pressure down. When it fails, pressure drops or spikes dangerously high.
We test at multiple points to locate exactly where the pressure drop occurs.
Half-day job. We size the new valve to match your home’s actual demand.
Hidden restrictions from old galvanized lines or scale buildup.
We start at the meter. Read the pressure outside, before the PRV. Check the PRV setting. Read pressure inside, after the PRV.
If the regulator is fine, we test static and dynamic pressure at affected fixtures. You get a clear explanation and written estimate before any work begins.
Most pressure visits are diagnosed and fixed in a single trip.
PRV replacement, valve work, water heater flush — often completed the same day.
Clogged dip tubes, sediment, or shutoff valves affecting only hot water.
The most common pressure problem we diagnose in Austin isn't dramatic. It's slow. Pressure-reducing valves drift over time...
A PRV replacement is one of the cheaper plumbing repairs available. The real cost is what happens when it doesn't get replaced.
Sometimes, yes. We test pressure at the meter first. If city pressure is low, we'll tell you.
Rarely. Most issues are regulator failures or restrictions. Boosters usually mask problems.
Yes. Above 80 PSI, fixtures wear faster and hoses fail sooner.
Yes. Restaurants, salons, and offices with higher flow demands.
