If your shower feels more like a gentle mist than a morning power-up 🌧️ or your faucet trickles out like it’s on vacation, you’re not alone. Omaha’s been calling us left and right lately about low water pressure — and today, we’re spilling the truth 💦

Let’s unclog this mystery together 🕵️‍♂️

🚨 Common Signs of Low Water Pressure

Your shower has weak or inconsistent pressure
Faucets take a long time to fill sinks or pots
Your washing machine doesn’t seem to be getting enough water

If you're noticing any of these, your home likely has a water pressure issue. Don’t worry, we can help fix it fast.

🔍 So What’s Causing It?

1️⃣ Clogged Pipes

Over time, minerals from hard water build up inside your pipes. Think of it like your arteries getting blocked. Not great for your heart ❤️ not great for your home.

🔧 Other Common Causes of Low Water Pressure

2️⃣ 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.

3️⃣ 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.

4️⃣ 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.

💡 We Can Fix It💪

Low water pressure is a common problem, but it’s fixable. We’ve helped plenty of Omaha homeowners solve it from replacing old pipes to fixing leaks or swapping out bad regulators.
