Is Your Home’s Water Pressure Too High or Too Low?

Inconsistent water pressure is one of the most common—and frustrating—plumbing issues for

homeowners in Middle Tennessee. One minute your shower feels like a drizzle, and the next,

your faucet pressure is strong enough to splash water everywhere.

Whether it’s too high, too low, or fluctuating throughout the day, water pressure problems

can signal deeper plumbing issues. At Twenty-Four Hour Plumbing LLC, we help

homeowners diagnose, fix, and prevent pressure issues before they lead to costly repairs.

Signs Your Water Pressure Isn’t Right

Not sure if your home’s water pressure is where it should be? Here are some common signs.

Signs of Low Water Pressure:

🚿 Slow-flowing showers or sinks

🧺 Washing machine taking longer to fill

🚰 Inconsistent water flow between fixtures

💧 Dribbling instead of streaming from faucets

Signs of High Water Pressure:

💥 Water blasts out of fixtures

🔊 Noisy pipes (banging or knocking sounds)

🚽 Toilet constantly running or tank fills too quickly

🔧 Leaking faucets or premature appliance wear

💡 Even if the water flow feels “normal,” consistent high pressure can silently damage

pipes, seals, and appliances over time.

Common Causes of Water Pressure Issues

There are a number of reasons your water pressure may be off, especially in Nashville,

Murfreesboro, and surrounding areas where weather changes and aging infrastructure can

play a role:

✔️ Clogged or corroded pipes restricting flow

✔️ Sediment buildup in aerators or showerheads

✔️ Faulty pressure regulators not balancing system pressure properly

✔️ Municipal supply changes that impact neighborhoods or subdivisions

✔️ Undetected plumbing issues such as partially closed valves or worn seals

💡 Pressure problems don’t always have an obvious source. That’s why it’s important to have a licensed plumber investigate and provide a lasting solution.

Steps You Can Take at Home

Before calling in the pros, here are a few things you can check:

🔧 Clean faucet aerators and showerheads

🔧 Make sure your main water valve is fully open

🔧 Use a simple water pressure gauge on an outdoor spigot to check your pressure (ideal

range: 40–60 psi)

If your reading is below 40 psi or above 80 psi, it’s time to give us a call.
