    Pinpointing the Source of the Issue

    Low water pressure can stem from a myriad of sources. It could be a clogged aerator, a fractured pipe, or even a community-wide issue. Before reaching out for professional help, consider this checklist to identify the issue:

    1. Inspect the Aerator: The aerator on your tap is the first line of defence against erratic water pressure. Unscrew it, give it a good clean, and if the problem persists, it might be time for a replacement.
    2. Evaluate Your Fixtures: If the low pressure is isolated to a single fixture, the issue might be localised. However, if it’s a house-wide headache, the source could be more complex.
    3. Check with Your Neighbours: A quick chat over the fence can reveal if the issue is at your end or a broader problem affecting the area.
