Low Water Pressure: Causes and Fixes for Durham Region Homes
Find out whether low pressure is a single fixture or the whole house, the quick fixes you can try yourself, and the causes that need a licensed plumber.
Older Durham Region homes carry galvanized steel, aging copper and early plastic supply lines. We repair the leak in front of you and replace the pipe that keeps failing.

Pipe repair fixes leaking, corroded or damaged water supply lines, and repiping replaces the failing pipe throughout the home with modern PEX or copper.
