If you’ve ever turned on the faucet in your Seattle home or stepped into the shower only to be greeted with weak water flow, you know how frustrating low water pressure can be. While many homeowners assume this is just an inconvenience or a sign of aging plumbing, low water pressure is often one of the earliest warning signs of a hidden leak.
Leaks inside walls, beneath floors, or under a property’s foundation can cause water to escape before it ever reaches your fixtures. As water diverts away from your pipes, you may notice pressure dropping in multiple sinks, showers, or appliances throughout your home or business. Even a small pinhole leak can release hundreds of gallons of water per month, raising your utility bill while slowly damaging your property.
Sometimes the cause may be more isolated. If only one faucet or showerhead is affected, mineral buildup in the aerator could be to blame. But if the issue is widespread—affecting your whole house or building—it’s time to suspect something more serious, like a slab leak or underground pipe leak.
