Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix low water pressure in Melbourne?
Yes. Sedcon Plumbing diagnoses and repairs water pressure problems across Melbourne including pressure limiting valve replacement, corroded pipe replacement, and isolation valve repairs. Call 0468 013 012.
What is a pressure limiting valve and do I need one replaced?
A pressure limiting valve (PLV) is installed on the water main connection to regulate incoming pressure to a safe level for household plumbing. A faulty or incorrectly set PLV can cause persistent low pressure across the property. Sedcon Plumbing tests and replaces PLVs across Melbourne. Call 0468 013 012.
Can corroded pipes cause low water pressure in Melbourne?
Yes. In older Melbourne homes, galvanised steel water supply pipes can corrode from the inside over time, progressively restricting flow and causing low pressure. Sedcon Plumbing replaces corroded water supply lines with copper or PEX piping across Melbourne. Call 0468 013 012.
