Sudden or ongoing low water pressure can signal serious issues with your well system, plumbing, or water supply. Our experts diagnose and fix the problem fast.
Low water pressure is more than an inconvenience — it’s often a warning sign. Homeowners across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia experience low water pressure in showers & Homes due to failing well pumps, pressure tank issues, clogged plumbing, sediment buildup, or aging water treatment systems.
At National Water Service, we specialize in diagnosing low water pressure at the source. Whether you’re on well water or city water, our licensed technicians perform a full system evaluation to determine exactly why your water pressure has dropped — and recommend the most effective, long-term solution.
👉If your water pressure has suddenly decreased or continues to get worse, don’t ignore it. Early diagnosis can prevent complete water loss and costly repairs.
Low water pressure can come from multiple sources, and many homes experience more than one issue at the same time.
Failing or undersized well pump
Pressure tank malfunction
Clogged well screens or sediment buildup
Electrical or control box problems
Hidden pipe leaks
Corroded or restricted pipes
Faulty pressure regulators
Partially closed valves
Clogged sediment filters
Improperly sized filtration systems
Media tanks restricting flow
Our technicians evaluate your entire water system, not just one component, to ensure pressure is restored safely and correctly.
While identifying the cause is the first step, our team provides the permanent hardware and plumbing solutions needed to restore your home’s water flow. We specialize in high-performance upgrades that ensure consistent pressure throughout your entire property.
If your municipal or well supply is naturally low, we install high-efficiency systems to ensure high-volume flow even when multiple showers or appliances are running at once.
Water Booster Pump Installation: We install specialized pumps to increase incoming city water pressure to your desired PSI.
Constant Pressure Controllers (VFD): Modern upgrades for well systems that eliminate pressure “dips” by adjusting pump speed in real-time.
For homes on private wells, low pressure is often a warning sign of failing equipment. We provide:
High-Volume Well Pump Replacement: Upgrading aging or undersized submersible pumps with reliable, high-output units.
Pressure Tank Calibration: Ensuring your tank’s air-to-water ratio is correct for steady, pulse-free pressure.
Well Line & Pitless Adapter Repair: Fixing hidden leaks between your well and your home that bleed off pressure.
Aging or improperly sized water softeners, iron breakers, and neutralizers can act like a “clog” in your main line.
System Re-Bedding: We refresh the media inside your filtration tanks to restore original flow rates.
High-Flow Control Valve Upgrades: Replacing restrictive valves with modern, high-flow versions to eliminate pressure drops during use.
Low water pressure often comes before complete water loss.
