Has taken a shower turned from a relaxing, therapeutic experience to a sad state of standing under a light dribble? Sometimes a nice high-pressure, hot (or cold if you’re one of those crazy health types) shower is just one of those small pleasures in life you don’t want to give up before or after a stressful day. Here in Upstate South Carolina, we know it can get hot and extremely humid- especially the past few weeks, when we’ve experienced high 90-degree days, so the last thing you want is to give up your refreshing shower. That’s where JB Plumbing Services comes in! Whether you have an older home with dated pipes, fixtures or water heaters in need of a whole plumbing system upgrade, or you have a newer home that’s clearly needing a diagnostic due to a sudden drop in water pressure, we’ve got you covered.
In fact, we recently had this 5-star review (one of our 840+) come through from our great customer Terry about this very issue:
Fantastic! Moved into a new to us home back in April. Water pressure was terrible. Called JB Plumbing and they were able to find the problem very quickly. Dylan was our tech. He was very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend JB and Dylan!

Water Pressure Improvement and Troubleshooting in Greenville
No one in the Greenville area who’s experiencing low water pressure is alone. At JB Plumbing Services we focus on identifying and fixing water pressure problems so as to bring back comfort and convenience to your everyday routine.
Common Causes of Low Water Pressure
Aging or corroded pipes
The internal walls of older pipes can become built up, which limits the flow of water. They also may be an older, smaller width that allows less water through.
Pressure regulator issues
Bad or failing regulators can result in pressure that is either inconsistent or low.
Hidden leaks
Even minor leaks can have a significant effect on water pressure and lead to expensive damage.
Clogged fixtures
Mineral deposits have the potential to accumulate in faucets and showerheads, which in turn reduces the amount of water that can be discharged.
Municipal supply fluctuations
The origin of the problem may lie outside the house.
Water Pressure Troubleshooting Steps
- Make sure that all the fixtures are checked to determine whether the issue is localized or widespread.
- Make sure that all the shut-off valves are fully open throughout your home.
- Check for any visible leaks or sudden spikes in your water bill.
- Use a pressure gauge to check your water pressure (the ideal range is 40 to 60 psi).
If the problem continues or you are unable to identify the cause, then reach out to JB Plumbing Services ASAP.
