The Water Pressure Problems We Fix
Find yours below. Whatever is causing it, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Pressure Limiting Valves
Valves after the water meter or on the hot water system, fitted new or replaced when they fail.
Low Pressure Through The House
Weak showers and slow taps in every room, or pressure that has faded over the years.
Low Hot Water Pressure
The cold runs fine but the hot only trickles, from the kitchen tap to the shower.
Hot And Cold Swings
Water that swings between hot and cold, or runs far too hot, which can come from a failed tempering valve.
Weak Taps And Shower Heads
One tap or shower running slow, which can be debris caught in the aerator or shower head.
Banging And Noisy Pipes
Pipes that bang or shudder when a tap shuts, or taps that whistle while they run.

How We Fix Water Pressure
Pressure limiting valve work Sydney-wide, done properly: measure the pressure, find the cause and agree the price before we fix it.
Licensed plumbersMeasure The Pressure
We check the water meter and the valves, then put a gauge on an outside tap to measure the working pressure. That shows straight away whether the pressure coming in is too low or too high.
Fixed price firstFind The Cause
Low pressure can come from a failed valve, a blocked strainer, debris in the tap aerators or a problem at the hot water system. We find which one it is and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Upfront pricingFit Or Adjust The Valve
We fit a new pressure limiting valve, adjust or replace the old one, or clear the blockage. Then we test the pressure again at the taps before we leave.
Pressure Limiting Valve Prices, Set Before We Start
Low pressure can come from several places, so the price is set once we know which one it is and before any work starts.
Fixed Price Quotes
Once we have tested the pressure and found the cause, you get one price for the fix, whether that is a new valve at the meter, new valves at the hot water system or cleared aerators.

Water Pressure And Pressure Limiting Valve FAQs
Answer:
There is nothing to pay just for us to come and look during business hours. If the pressure needs testing or the problem needs fixing, you get a fixed price for that work before we start. What it costs depends on the cause: clearing a blocked aerator is a small job, while a new pressure limiting valve at the meter or new valves at the hot water system is a bigger one.
Answer:
It holds the mains pressure coming into your home at a steady, safe level, so taps, flexi hoses, toilets and appliances are not under more pressure than they are built for. One is usually fitted just after the water meter. Mains pressure hot water systems have one on the cold water inlet too, which lowers the pressure inside the tank and helps it last.
Answer:
First check with a neighbour and Sydney Water's outage information, because a problem in the street affects everyone. If the street is fine, the cause is on your property: a leaking or burst supply pipe, a valve at the meter that has failed, or in apartment buildings, a fault with the building's pumps. A sudden drop is worth a call the same day.
Answer:
The problem is usually at the hot water system. A strainer in the tempering valve can block up, a valve on the inlet can fail, or debris can build up in the pipes and valves of an older system. We check the valves first before recommending anything bigger, like a new system.
Answer:
If your pipes bang, flexi hoses have burst, or the pressure is higher than your fixtures should take, a valve after the meter brings it down. When we install a mains pressure hot water system, a pressure limiting valve goes on the cold inlet, and we check it when we service one. A pressure test tells you for sure.
Answer:
Sometimes. Check that the tap at the water meter is fully open, and unscrew and clean a tap aerator or shower head, since debris caught there can slow a single outlet. If every tap is weak, or only the hot water is, the problem is further back in the valves or pipes and needs a plumber.
Answer:
Banging usually happens when a tap or an appliance valve shuts quickly and the moving water in the pipe has nowhere to go, and loose pipes make it louder. The fix can be clipping the pipes back in place, fitting a water hammer arrestor, or a pressure limiting valve when the pressure is high.
Answer:
If your neighbours have the same problem, it is usually the building's shared pumps or pressure valves, which strata looks after. We work on strata buildings and report what we find to the building manager. If only your unit is affected, the cause is more likely inside your unit.
