5Low Water Pressure: 75/100

I had a major water service line leak between my 1940s home and the city meter, which led to a $4,000 water bill from WSSC. Adam arrived the next day, right on time and with a reassuring attitude. Within 15 minutes, he had diagnosed the issue, provided a clear quote, and committed to starting the repair the very next day.

Common Low Water Pressure Scenarios

Check if It's One Fixture or Whole House

Low pressure at one faucet is usually a clogged aerator or shut valve. Whole-house low pressure points to the main supply line, pressure regulator, or municipal issue.

Check the Pressure Regulator

Homes with a pressure regulator (bell-shaped valve near the main shutoff) can lose pressure when the regulator fails. Replacement costs $200-$400.

Look for Leaks

A significant leak in your supply line drops pressure throughout the house. Check your water meter with all fixtures off — if it's spinning, you have a leak.

Check Municipal Notices

Your water utility may be doing maintenance. Check their website or call before hiring a plumber for a temporary municipal issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes low water pressure?
Common causes: clogged aerators, partially closed shutoff valves, a failing pressure regulator, corroded galvanized pipes restricting flow, leaks in the supply line, or municipal water main issues. In Rockville homes with galvanized pipes, internal corrosion is a frequent culprit.
How do I fix low water pressure in my Rockville home?
Start simple: clean faucet aerators, check shutoff valves are fully open. If the problem is house-wide, test your water pressure with a gauge (should be 40-60 PSI). Below 40 PSI, call a plumber to check the pressure regulator and main supply line.
How much does it cost to fix low water pressure?
Causes and costs: aerator cleaning (free DIY), pressure regulator replacement $200-$400, main water line repair $1,500-$5,000, whole-house repipe $4,000-$15,000. A plumber's diagnostic visit ($100-$200) identifies the cause before you commit to expensive repairs.
Can old pipes cause low water pressure?
Yes — galvanized steel pipes (common in homes built before 1960) corrode internally, narrowing the pipe and restricting water flow. If your Rockville home has original galvanized pipes and low pressure throughout, repiping to PEX or copper is the permanent fix.
