Domco Plumbing

“Dominick really did a great job for us! We had a tricky relocation of our washer and dryer. Dominick got the pipes and drain moved, upgraded the pipes and fixtures and left everything looking like new construction! And he was fast!”
#2Strong Hire
Early Bird Plumbing
4.9Low Water Pressure: 75/100
“Let me tell you how awesome this company is. Recently, Isaiah Fox replaced our shower valve. He did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, the new part was defective, which was the manufacturer's fault, not his. I informed Early Bird, and the owner Mike Chickering came out the same day to replace it. That was on a Sunday, immediately after he was attending a family event. Problem solved, no additional expenses.”

Common Low Water Pressure Scenarios
Check if It's One Fixture or Whole House
Low pressure at one faucet is usually a clogged aerator or shut valve. Whole-house low pressure points to the main supply line, pressure regulator, or municipal issue.
Check the Pressure Regulator
Homes with a pressure regulator (bell-shaped valve near the main shutoff) can lose pressure when the regulator fails. Replacement costs $200-$400.
Look for Leaks
A significant leak in your supply line drops pressure throughout the house. Check your water meter with all fixtures off — if it's spinning, you have a leak.
Check Municipal Notices
Your water utility may be doing maintenance. Check their website or call before hiring a plumber for a temporary municipal issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes low water pressure?
Common causes: clogged aerators, partially closed shutoff valves, a failing pressure regulator, corroded galvanized pipes restricting flow, leaks in the supply line, or municipal water main issues. In Sacramento homes with galvanized pipes, internal corrosion is a frequent culprit.
How do I fix low water pressure in my Sacramento home?
Start simple: clean faucet aerators, check shutoff valves are fully open. If the problem is house-wide, test your water pressure with a gauge (should be 40-60 PSI). Below 40 PSI, call a plumber to check the pressure regulator and main supply line.
How much does it cost to fix low water pressure?
Causes and costs: aerator cleaning (free DIY), pressure regulator replacement $200-$400, main water line repair $1,500-$5,000, whole-house repipe $4,000-$15,000. A plumber's diagnostic visit ($100-$200) identifies the cause before you commit to expensive repairs.
Can old pipes cause low water pressure?
Yes — galvanized steel pipes (common in homes built before 1960) corrode internally, narrowing the pipe and restricting water flow. If your Sacramento home has original galvanized pipes and low pressure throughout, repiping to PEX or copper is the permanent fix.
