If lower or higher pressure occurs at all of the taps on your property, and lasts more than a few seconds, please call us.
Sometimes lower or higher than normal water pressure, can be caused by a faulty plumbing fitting.
First, check to see if there is a change in pressure at all taps throughout your property, including hot-water and cold-water taps. If some taps have normal pressure and some have lower or higher pressure, it is most likely a plumbing problem and you should contact a plumber to investigate.
