Common causes include a failed or incorrectly set pressure limiting valve, a partially closed isolation valve, corroded galvanised steel pipes restricting flow, blocked tap aerators, or a supply authority issue on the street. Call Sedcon Plumbing on 0468 013 012 to investigate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace a pressure limiting valve in Melbourne?
Yes. Sedcon Plumbing tests supply pressure and replaces pressure limiting valves across Melbourne. A failed PLV is a common cause of both low and excessively high pressure at the property. Call 0468 013 012.
Can corroded galvanised pipes cause low water pressure in Melbourne?
Yes. Galvanised steel water supply pipes installed in Melbourne homes from the 1940s through 1970s can corrode internally and significantly restrict water flow over time. We replace affected sections with copper or PEX supply lines to restore full pressure.
How do I fix low water pressure in my Melbourne home?
The fix depends on the cause. We diagnose the source of low pressure by testing at various points throughout the property and recommend the appropriate repair. Call Sedcon Plumbing on 0468 013 012 for a low pressure investigation.
