Why Water Pressure Matters: What Every Homeowner in Orange Should Know

When it comes to your home’s plumbing system, water pressure is often the unsung hero—or the invisible culprit. Whether you’re enjoying a strong, steamy shower or struggling with a trickle from your kitchen tap, water pressure plays a key role in your daily comfort and your plumbing system’s overall health.

At Webflow Plumbing, we’ve noticed that many Orange homeowners aren’t aware of how important the right water pressure is. Let’s break it down.

What Is Water Pressure, and Why Is It Important?

Water pressure is the force that moves water through your pipes and into your fixtures. Measured in kilopascals (kPa), the ideal residential water pressure should typically be between 300–500 kPa.

Too high? You risk damaging pipes, appliances, and water heaters.
Too low? Say goodbye to satisfying showers and reliable washing cycles.

Signs You Have a Water Pressure Problem

  • Slow or uneven water flow from taps and showers

  • Appliances not functioning properly, especially dishwashers or washing machines

  • Banging or noisy pipes (known as “water hammer”)

  • Leaks or frequent pipe bursts, especially in older homes

  • Sudden spikes or drops in water temperature during use

Common Causes of Water Pressure Issues

  • Clogged pipes or filters: Build-up of minerals or debris over time

  • Leaks: Even small ones can dramatically reduce pressure

  • Old or corroded plumbing: Especially common in homes built before the 1980s

  • Pressure regulator failures: These devices can wear out without warning

  • Local water supply issues: Sometimes it’s not your system—it’s your area’s mains
