2⃣ Shutoff Valve Isn’t Fully Open
Check your main water shutoff valve. If it’s not completely open, it can reduce pressure throughout your whole house. This is a simple fix that’s often overlooked.

3⃣ Faulty Pressure Regulator

The pressure regulator controls how much water flows into your home. If it’s broken or worn out, your pressure could be way too low or way too high. Either way, it needs replacing.

4⃣ Hidden Leaks

Leaks, especially ones underground or behind walls, can drain your pressure fast. You might not see them, but your water bill and weak flow will tell you they’re there.
