Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about water pressure issues.
What is normal water pressure for a home?
Ideal residential water pressure is 40-60 PSI (pounds per square inch). Below 30 PSI, fixtures don't work properly. Above 80 PSI, you risk damage to pipes, fixtures, and appliances. We test your actual pressure and recommend adjustments if needed.
Why is my water pressure suddenly low?
Sudden pressure drops usually indicate a significant issue—a water main break (city or your property), a failed pressure regulator, a major leak, or a municipal supply problem. We diagnose the specific cause and fix it. Call 403-477-0933 for prompt service.
Can high water pressure damage my home?
Absolutely. Pressure above 80 PSI stresses pipes, fittings, and appliances, causing leaks, premature appliance failure, and water hammer (banging pipes). It also wastes water and increases bills. A pressure regulator protects your system.
Why is water pressure low only at one fixture?
Isolated low pressure usually indicates a localized problem—clogged aerator, partially closed shutoff valve, kinked supply line, or blocked supply tube. These are usually straightforward fixes once properly diagnosed.
How do you diagnose water pressure problems?
We test pressure at multiple points in your system, check for leaks, inspect the pressure regulator (if present), examine fixtures with issues, and assess your pipes' condition. This systematic approach identifies the actual cause—not guesses—so we fix the right thing.
