| Cold fine, hot is weak | Sediment build-up in hot water system |
| Pressure drops when 2 taps run at once | Undersized pipe or low supply pressure |
| Pressure dropped suddenly overnight | Burst pipe, leak, or PRV failure – call now |
| Gradual drop over weeks/months | Corroded or scaling pipes – common in older homes |
What's Causing Low Water Pressure in Your Home?
Faulty Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV)
Controls how much pressure enters your home. When it fails, pressure drops everywhere. Quick to diagnose, often quick to fix.
Corroded or Scaled Pipes
Many older homes across Wollongong, Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Southern Highlands and Sutherland Shire often have galvanised pipes that narrow from the inside over time. Pipe relining or replacement restores full flow without digging up your yard.
Hidden Leaking Pipe
A pipe leaking inside a wall or under the slab bleeds pressure before it reaches your taps. Our leak detection team finds it without unnecessary damage.
Hot Water System Sediment
Sediment inside your hot water system restricts hot-water-only flow. Annual servicing prevents this building up.
Partially Closed or Faulty Stopcock
A valve left partially shut after any previous plumbing work is one of the easiest fixes. We check this first.

It depends on the cause. A PRV adjustment or showerhead clean is a quick, affordable fix, while pipe replacement or tracing a hidden leak may take longer. During our first visit, we’ll diagnose the issue and provide an upfront flat-rate price before any work begins, so you’re fully informed and can decide how you’d like to proceed.
