Why Your Lincoln Home’s Water Pressure Is Low (And How to Fix It)

1. Mineral Buildup in Pipes and Fixtures

Lincoln has moderately hard water, which means mineral deposits can form inside fixtures and narrow the openings.

Common signs:

• Slow-flowing faucets
• Showerheads that spray unevenly
• White or chalky buildup

Fix:
We can clean or replace fixtures and check for buildup in the plumbing lines.

2. Partially Closed Shut-Off Valves

It happens more often than you’d think—someone bumps a valve during cleaning or repair work, and the water pressure drops.
Check your:

• Main shut-off valve
• Toilet valves
• Sink shut-offs

Fix:
Make sure they’re fully open.

3. Pressure Regulator Failure

Many Lincoln homes, especially in newer developments, have pressure regulators that keep the household pressure safe. When these fail, your pressure may drop drastically.

Fix:
We can replace faulty regulators quickly to restore proper flow.

4. Pipe Leaks (Even Small Ones)

Even a tiny leak can lower pressure throughout your home. Look for:

• Wet spots
• Running water sounds
• Higher water bills

Fix:
Professional leak detection from The Plumbing Pros.

5. City Supply Issues

Sometimes water pressure dips because of construction or city supply fluctuations. If your entire neighborhood is experiencing low pressure, the city may be working on mains.
