A sudden drop in water pressure is one of the most common plumbing problems we resolve in the region. Often, it is caused by straightforward issues such as a partially closed stopcock or a failing valve. However, living in a hard water area like Somerset means that severe scale buildup inside your pipework or taps can heavily restrict water flow over time.Alternatively, low pressure might indicate a more serious hidden issue, such as an underground leak draining your system. If the pressure drop is isolated to your hot water, you may have a fault within your heating setup. Our G3 certified engineers are fully qualified to safely inspect, repair, and maintain hot water cylinders to quickly restore your home's comfort.
