Low water pressure is frustrating and often fixable. Here are the common causes.
Mineral buildup in faucet aerators and showerheads is the simplest cause. Cleaning or replacing them often restores pressure instantly.
In older homes, decades of corrosion narrow the inside of galvanized pipes, choking flow. This is common in Northern NJ's older housing stock and may call for repiping.
A failing pressure-reducing valve can drop pressure throughout the house. It's an easy component for a plumber to test and replace.
A leak somewhere in the system, or a problem on the municipal side, can also be the culprit. If cleaning fixtures doesn't help, it's worth a professional diagnosis.
