Frequently Asked Questions

A sudden drop in pressure across the whole house is usually caused by a failing Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV), a closed shut-off valve, or a major hidden leak in your main water line. We can test your system to find the exact culprit.

Yes. The Chicagoland area is known for hard water. Over time, calcium and magnesium deposits build up inside your pipes, showerheads, and faucet aerators, severely restricting the flow of water.

If your cold water pressure is fine but the hot water is weak, the issue is almost certainly isolated to your water heater. This is often caused by severe sediment buildup inside the tank or a failing shut-off valve on the heater itself.

 If your home was built before the 1960s and still has original galvanized steel pipes, they are likely corroding from the inside out. This internal rust chokes off the water supply. If cleaning the fixtures doesn’t help, a pipe upgrade may be necessary.
