Low Water Pressure Throughout
Pressure loss can signal a supply leak. How to test it without guesswork.
A sudden regional pressure drop suggests water is escaping before it reaches the fixtures. Testing at multiple points tells you whether the loss is inside or outside the building.

- Check the meter with everything off
- Ask neighbours whether they see the same
Likely causes
- A service or main line leak

Quick answers
What should I do first about this?
Pressure and flow testing
Can this be fixed without opening everything?
In most cases the investigation narrows the target before any finish is opened. Small access points are sometimes needed to confirm a finding, and that is discussed before anything is opened.
