We’ll find and fix whatever’s causing your low water pressure problems
Low pressure isn’t always about old pipes. It can come from a bunch of different issues, and until you’ve tested things properly, it’s hard to know which one you’ve got. Here are the usual suspects we’re called out for.
Clogged pipes and fixtures restricting flow
Over time, minerals, rust, or just plain gunk build up inside pipes and tap fittings. It doesn’t take much to slow the flow, especially in older homes. We clean, flush, or replace the affected parts so water moves freely again.
Faulty pressure regulators and valves
If your home has a pressure regulator, it’s meant to keep the flow steady. When it fails, you end up with either a trickle or water that hammers through and wrecks your fittings. We test and replace dodgy regulators so the pressure stays where it should be.
Leaks in the water supply line reducing pressure
A hidden leak in the supply line doesn’t just waste water — it starves the rest of your house of pressure. We use detection equipment to find the break, repair it properly, and bring your pressure back up without wasting a drop.
Mains water issues affecting the whole property
Sometimes the problem isn’t inside your place at all — it’s in the mains outside. We know the local setups across Melbourne’s south, and we’ll tell you straight if it’s an issue for the water authority to fix. That way, you’re not paying for work you don’t need.
What every homeowner should know about low water pressure
A weak shower or a tap that takes forever to fill the sink is annoying, sure. But low pressure often points to something bigger going on in your plumbing. Here’s what we think is worth knowing before you shrug it off.
Pressure problems aren’t always caused by old pipes
A lot of people assume low pressure means the whole system is worn out. That’s not always true. More often, it’s a faulty valve, a clogged aerator, or a hidden leak somewhere in the line. Replacing a washer won’t help if the regulator’s the culprit.
Low pressure messes with your appliances, too
It’s not just showers and taps that suffer. Dishwashers, washing machines, and even hot water units all rely on steady pressure to work properly. If the flow isn’t strong enough, they take longer, use more energy, or break down sooner.
DIY fixes rarely hold when it comes to pressure
We’ve seen plenty of “band-aid” jobs, from cheap valves fitted backwards to washers that were never the problem in the first place. They might work for a few days, but the pressure drops again, and you’re back to square one. A proper fix means finding the cause, not just patching symptoms.
Low pressure is sometimes a clue to hidden leaks
If one tap’s weak, it could just be the fitting. But if the whole house has poor pressure, it’s worth asking if water is escaping somewhere. A slow underground leak can waste thousands of litres and weaken your pressure at the same time. Catching it early saves both water and money.

Low water pressure plumbing solutions for commercial properties
Low water pressure can grind things to a halt. Toilets don’t flush properly, kitchens can’t keep up, and tenants start ringing with complaints. We work with managers and businesses across Melbourne to keep pressure steady where it matters.
- Apartments and body corporates: Balancing pressure across dozens of units takes more than guesswork. We test the system, make adjustments, and provide reports you can pass on to owners and tenants.
- Hospitality venues: Kitchens, bars, and bathrooms all need strong, reliable flow. We clear supply lines, upgrade fittings, and fix regulators so you don’t lose business over slow taps or sinks that won’t drain fast enough.
- Schools and community facilities: When demand peaks — like morning recess or after lunch — pressure often drops out. We service and upgrade systems so they can handle the load.
- Industrial and office sites: Low pressure can disrupt safety systems, production lines, and staff facilities. We diagnose supply issues quickly and keep downtime to a minimum.

Here’s what you need to know about low water pressure problems
Got something you’re unsure about? Outright Plumbing’s experts answer the common water pressure questions we hear from clients every week.
What are the common causes of low water pressure in your home?
It’s one of the most common plumbing issues we get called out for. The main causes of low water pressure in your home often come down to problems inside your home’s plumbing system, such as corroded pipes, hidden water leaks, or blocked plumbing fixtures that slow the flow of water. In older homes, damage to the water supply pipe is a frequent culprit, while in newer properties, a faulty faucet or water pressure regulator can be the cause.
There are also external factors. Your home’s water pressure may be affected by the municipal water supply, or a pressure drop could come from a fault in the main water line. Sometimes it’s as simple as a broken pressure regulator. Common issues include:
- Leaking pipes hidden under floors or behind walls
- Old or corroded pipes restricting water flow
- Faulty plumbing fixtures or worn-out taps
- Problems with the incoming water or supply line
Because there are so many different causes, the best way forward is to have plumbing experts inspect the entire plumbing system. A qualified plumber can quickly identify the issue and ensure everything meets Victorian plumbing industry standards.
Why is my hot water pressure lower than my cold water pressure?
If you’ve noticed low hot water pressure while your cold taps run normally, the issue is usually linked to your hot water system. Sediment can build up in the tank over time, or the water heater may not be keeping up. In some homes, the pipes supplied by your hot water system become narrowed by rust or scale, slowing the flow of water.
The causes behind this problem are often related to the system’s age or setup. A greater demand for hot water (such as several people using hot water at one time) can make existing issues more obvious. If your low hot water pressure could be linked to the system itself, our hot water system services can restore steady pressure before a breakdown happens.
Can leaking pipes or fixtures cause low water pressure at home?
Yes. Leaking pipes and faulty plumbing fixtures are among the most common reasons for low water pressure at home. Even a small water leak can lower pressure across the whole house, especially if it’s in a hidden water pipe. Leaks don’t just reduce water flow; they also increase the risk of costly water damage.
It’s not only pipes that cause problems. A dripping faucet, worn mixer, or broken showerhead can also affect water pressure levels. Because leaks usually worsen over time, it’s best to call a local plumber early, before a small fault turns into a major repair.
What should I check if I experience low water pressure at home?
There are a few easy checks you can try before calling for help. Start with the water meter valve at the front of your property: if it isn’t fully open, it can restrict the flow of water. You can also use a simple water pressure gauge on an outdoor tap to see if your home is within the normal water pressure range.
Other quick checks include:
- Have you recently had plumbing work done? A valve may not have been reset.
- Is the water pressure throughout your home affected, or just one room?
- Does it improve when you check the water at different times of day? A slow drop in water pressure often happens during peak demand.
If these checks don’t solve the problem, plumbing maintenance services are the next step. A plumber can trace the main causes of low water and get your home’s plumbing system back to proper water pressure.
How do I know if my water pressure regulator is broken?
A water pressure regulator keeps your water pressure levels steady. If it’s faulty, you might notice pressure drops, fluctuating water pressure throughout the home, or even high water pressure that can damage fittings. A broken pressure regulator is one of the most common plumbing problems we come across in homes.
Other signs include noisy pipes, a slow drop in water pressure, or having to manually adjust valves to reduce water pressure. In some cases, a faulty water pressure regulator at the connection to your main water line is to blame. Because regulators protect the entire plumbing system, they should always be inspected by a professional if you’re unsure.
When should I call a qualified plumber for low water pressure issues?
If you experience low water pressure that doesn’t improve after basic checks, it’s time to call a qualified plumber. The problem could be corroded pipes, a hidden leak, or even an issue with the municipal water supply. Because the causes behind low pressure can affect the whole system, getting help early prevents damage and restores proper water pressure.
You don’t need to wait until the situation gets worse. Plumbing experts can quickly tell whether the issue is a minor fault or something impacting your entire plumbing system. For reliable help close to home, explore Outright Plumbing’s services and let a local plumber restore your water pressure needs.
