My water pressure seems low — what causes that?

In Birmingham homes, low pressure is often caused by a failing pressure reducing valve (PRV), buildup in pipes, or a partially closed shutoff valve. It can also signal a leak somewhere in the system. A tech can diagnose it quickly.

Does pipe installation require replacing the entire plumbing system?

Some projects involve replacing a single section of damaged piping, while others require a complete repiping of the property. The scope of work depends on the condition of the existing pipes and the goals of the project. An inspection helps determine the most practical and cost-effective solution for the plumbing system.

Frequently Asked Piping Questions

Repiping may be the best solution if your home is experiencing recurring plumbing problems throughout the system rather than a single isolated issue. Common signs include consistently low water pressure, discolored or rusty water, multiple pipe leaks over time, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, metallic-tasting water, or aging galvanized plumbing. If your home has older pipes and you’re dealing with frequent repairs, a whole-home repipe can often provide a more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution than continuing to repair individual leaks.

Older homes do not automatically have bad pipes, but many have plumbing materials that wear out over time. Galvanized steel pipes can corrode from the inside, reducing water pressure and affecting water quality, while older copper or cast iron pipes may develop leaks or cracks after decades of use. If your home has frequent leaks, discolored water, low water pressure, or recurring drain problems, it’s a good idea to have your plumbing system inspected. A professional evaluation can determine the condition of your pipes and recommend repairs or replacement only if they’re necessary.

Draingo is the way to go!!!! We used Draingo last year in March 2025 after AHS sent their #1 company K&S Plumbing (who always refuses to work with the client) to fix the repairs that AHS stated that we weren't covered for. Long story short. Draingo came and determined that we were covered, repaired it and we were good.
However, recently the PRV they replaced went bad again this year. Come to find out the city of Calera_AL has too much pressure coming into the subdivision. My home is receiving 140 psi!!! Way too much. Logan from Draingo is the best! He came out and and told us exactly what we needed. He put the dual PRV on set our tank temperature and no leaks as of yet. This took place on 7/24/26. Thank you Logan and thank you Draingo!!!

Even though we were David's last stop of the day and he had to drive all the way from Mccalla to Chelsea at 5:30pm, he was smiling and engaging and got right into our issue, and he stayed until the issue was resolved and everything was cleaned up and put back as it was. David was a pleasure to work with, and he has probably now spoiled me on plumbers.
