Understanding Water Pressure in Your Home

Water pressure is what moves water from its source through your plumbing system and out of every tap. When pressure drops or stops entirely, you may notice:

  • No water in the house at all
  • Weak or inconsistent water flow
  • Sputtering faucets
  • No water pressure in the shower, bathtub, or kitchen sink
  • Suddenly no water from the well
  • Well pump issues

If your home uses a private well, pressure problems are often complex and can involve the pump, well tank, or control equipment.

Common Causes of Low Water Pressure

Lack of water or very low pressure almost always comes down to one of three broad categories: a supply problem, a mechanical or equipment problem, or a distribution problem.

1. Supply Problems

Supply issues affect the source of your water, such as:

  • Well running dry or low recovery rate
  • Frozen pipes during cold weather
  • Leaks in distribution lines
  • Main supply shutoff closed or partially closed
  • Faulty or misadjusted pressure‑regulator valve (PRV)
  • Well intake is blocked, so very little water reaches the pump

If there is no water from your well, the issue is often at the source before water ever reaches your plumbing system.

2. Mechanical or Equipment Problems

These issues involve the components that move and regulate your water, such as:

  • Well pump failure
  • Pressure switch malfunction
  • Pressure tank waterlogged or failing
  • Control box or electrical issues
  • Power outages are affecting well pump operation

Homes experiencing no water pressure from their well often have a failing pump or pressure system that can no longer maintain a consistent flow.

3. Distribution/Plumbing Problems

Distribution problems occur after water enters the home, such as:

  • Clogged pipes
  • Scale buildup in pipes
  • Leaks reducing system pressure
  • Fixture blockages
  • Old fixtures
  • Undersized service line or interior piping
  • Many fixtures/appliances are running at once on a marginal line size
  • Corroded or failing valves

If you only notice no water pressure at the kitchen sink, shower, or other select tap, the issue may be isolated to a fixture, valve, or localized plumbing line. Our skilled plumbers can help identify the root cause and address the issue quickly!

What You Can Check at Home Before Calling for Service

While many pressure issues require professional diagnosis, a few checks can help you identify whether the problem is isolated or system-wide.

If the Problem Is in One Room or Fixture

  • Check shutoff valves under sinks or behind toilets
  • Remove and clean faucet aerators and showerheads
  • Test water pressure in other areas of the house
  • Check supply lines to the affected room or tap for leaks, mineral buildup, or clogs
  • Temporarily bypass any water treatment equipment and recheck the water flow (media or cartridges may be clogged and need service or replacement)

If water flow is normal elsewhere, the issue is likely localized.

If the Whole House Has Low or No Pressure

  • Check any exposed pipes for damage like mineral buildup or corrosion
  • Listen for the well pump cycling or running continuously
  • Check for visible leaks
  • When near pipes, your water heater, or outdoor spigots, listen for hissing or flowing water noises that may suggest a leak
  • Check your water meter for activity when no faucets are in use
  • Check the power and make sure the well pump breaker is on and the pressure switch is not tripped or stuck

You can also use a simple pressure gauge by screwing it onto an exterior hose spigot near the meter (municipal) or near the pressure tank (well). Turn off all water uses and read the gauge with the faucet fully open. Typical “good” static pressure is about 45–60 psi.

Much below 40 psi often indicates a supply, pump, or regulator issue. If the gauge reading is normal at the entry, but fixtures are weak, the problem is likely in your interior piping.

If you have no water in the house or from your well, avoid running fixtures repeatedly, as this can further stress damaged equipment.
