No Water Pressure in Your NYC Home? Here’s What May Be Going On

December 4, 2020 by Boris Mechanical

If you’ve ever been halfway through a shower only to have the water pressure drop to nothing, you know what a frustrating, aggravating situation it is. What causes a lack of water pressure? Are water pressure problems different in New York City than from what occurs in other parts of the country? We tracked down one of the best Manhattan plumbers to get you some answers!

What causes a lack of water pressure in NYC homes?

The first thing your NYC plumber will do when you report there’s no water pressure is check the water supply coming into your house. Believe it or not, sometimes the city’s water system is not supplying your home with adequate pressure. This can happen if there’s damage to the water supply lines outside of your home – such as a water main break in the neighborhood. In these cases, once the city addresses the problem, your low water pressure concerns should resolve.

However, sometimes the water is coming into your home at the proper pressure but then something happens before the water reaches your shower or faucet tap. The number one reason you don’t have water pressure is a leak in your pipes and this can be very serious. The reason leaking pipes are serious are that the water can damage your property and also leaks can cause your water bill to skyrocket. In fact, if you notice your water bill is much, much higher than normal, it’s a good sign there’s a leak and that you should call your New York City plumber right away.

In New York City, the great height of some buildings requires additional pumps to transport water from the source to the residence. If these pumps are not working properly, that can be the cause of your no water pressure issue. Your Manhattan plumber will be able to identify and remedy this problem for you.
