Hi!
Dealing with low water pressure in your shower can be pretty frustrating, but there are a few things you can try on your own before calling a plumber. First, check the showerhead—it might just be clogged with mineral deposits. A simple soak in vinegar can help clear that up. Also, make sure the water valves are fully open; sometimes, they can be partially closed without you realizing it. It's also a good idea to inspect for any leaks, as even a small one can cause a drop in pressure. If your home has a pressure regulator, it could be worth checking to see if it’s functioning properly. Some showerheads come with a flow restrictor to conserve water, which can reduce pressure—removing it might help if that’s the case. However, if you’ve tried these fixes and the pressure is still low, it might be time to call in a plumber to take a closer look. Hopefully, though, one of these tips will do the trick and you’ll have your shower back to normal in no time!
