Water pressure adjustment
in Little Rock, AR

Your water pressure is too low throughout the house. The shower is weak and disappointing. The kitchen faucet takes forever to fill pots. The washing machine fills slowly. Every fixture in the house has poor pressure. This means your whole system needs more pressure.

You have weak pressure only when multiple fixtures run at once. When someone showers while the dishwasher runs, pressure drops to almost nothing. As soon as you turn off one fixture, pressure returns. This means your pressure is borderline low and can't handle multiple demands.

Your pipes bang or hammer when you turn faucets on or off. You hear loud knocking sounds in the walls. The pipes shake or vibrate. This water hammer happens when pressure is too high. The sudden stop of fast-moving water creates shock waves that bang the pipes.

Fixtures leak or drip constantly. Faucets develop leaks at the handles. Toilet fill valves wear out quickly. Appliances develop leaks at their connections. High pressure puts stress on seals and gaskets, causing them to fail. Properties in West Little Rock and Pleasant Valley sometimes have pressure that's too high from the city supply.

Your water bill increased for no reason. You're not using more water but the bill went up. High pressure can cause hidden leaks in supply lines or toilet fill valves. These leaks waste water constantly even though you don't see them.

You hear running water when nothing is on. There's a hissing sound somewhere in your plumbing. This could be a leak caused by high pressure or it could be the pressure regulator failing and allowing too much pressure through.

Appliances break frequently. Your dishwasher's inlet valve failed. Your washing machine developed leaks. Your water heater's pressure relief valve keeps discharging. High pressure damages appliance components that aren't designed for it.

Fixtures spray or spit water. When you first turn on a faucet, water sprays out forcefully before settling down. Showerheads produce a harsh, needle-like spray. This indicates pressure that's too high.

Adjusting pressure fixes weak water flow throughout your house. Showers become strong and satisfying. Faucets fill pots quickly. Your washing machine and dishwasher fill at normal speed. Everything works the way it should. You're not frustrated every time you turn on water.

Correct pressure protects your plumbing from damage. High pressure wears out washers, gaskets, and seals quickly. It can burst old pipes or crack fixtures. Lowering pressure to the correct range prevents this damage and extends the life of your plumbing system. Homes throughout Riverdale and Capitol View benefit from protecting older plumbing with proper pressure.

You eliminate water hammer and pipe noise. That loud banging when you shut off faucets stops. Your pipes are quiet. The constant stress on pipes from pressure shock waves ends. Your plumbing system operates peacefully.

Adjustment reduces water waste and lowers bills. High pressure causes hidden leaks that waste gallons of water daily. Toilet fill valves run constantly. Supply line connections drip. Lowering pressure to the correct range stops these leaks and drops your water bill back to normal.

Your appliances last longer. Dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters, and other appliances have components designed for specific pressure ranges. Correct pressure means these components don't wear out prematurely. You save money on appliance repairs and replacements.

You get consistent pressure throughout the day. A properly adjusted regulator maintains steady pressure regardless of demand on the city's system. Your shower pressure doesn't drop during high-use times like morning or evening. Everything stays consistent.

Let's talk about water heaters. Most people don't think about them until they stop working. But here in Arkansas, with our humid summers and cold winters, a working water heater isn't just about comfort. It's about your daily life functioning the way it should.

We install all types of water heaters in Little Rock and the surrounding areas. Whether you live in the Heights, West Little Rock, or out near Maumelle, we can get to you. Tank water heaters, tankless systems, gas or electric. We handle them all.

Here's what most people don't know: your water heater probably needs replacing before it completely dies. If your unit is over 10 years old, making weird noises, or taking longer to heat up water, you're on borrowed time. Many people wait until it fails completely, which usually means coming home to water damage or having no hot water for days while waiting for parts.

When we install a new water heater, we don't just swap the old one for a new one. We check your home's setup, talk about your hot water needs (big family? guests often? lots of laundry?), and help you pick the right size. A water heater that's too small means you run out of hot water. One that's too big wastes energy and money every month.

The Hillcrest neighborhood has a lot of older homes with original plumbing. The process for replacing water heaters usually takes about 3-4 hours. Newer homes in Chenal Valley or Maumelle sometimes need different setups, especially if they have specific builder requirements.

If you need a full replacement, a new water heater can usually be installed within 24-48 hours.

Some plumbing problems can wait until Monday morning. Others can't.

A toilet that won't stop overflowing? That's an emergency. A burst pipe spraying water everywhere? You need help now. A backed-up drain flooding your basement? That needs attention right away.

We handle emergency plumbing calls for Little Rock homeowners. We're not available 24/7, but we respond quickly during business hours and can often get to you same-day.

The thing about plumbing emergencies is they always happen at the worst time. Saturday night before you're hosting Sunday brunch. Right before you leave for vacation. Five minutes after you put your kids to bed.

When you call, we'll ask you some questions about what's happening. Sometimes we can walk you through a quick fix to stop the immediate problem until we can get there. Other times, you need to shut off your water right away to prevent damage.

If you've got water spraying everywhere, find your main water shut-off valve. In most Little Rock homes, it's near where the water line comes into your house, often in the basement or on an exterior wall. Turn it clockwise until it stops. That turns off all the water to your house and stops the flooding.

Nobody plans for their toilet to overflow or their drain to back up. But when it happens, you need someone who can get there fast and actually fix it, not just temporarily clear it so it backs up again next month.

We work all over the greater Little Rock area. From the historic homes in Quapaw Quarter to the newer developments in Maumelle and Conway. Each area has its own plumbing quirks.

Older neighborhoods often have galvanized pipes or cast iron that's reaching the end of its life. Newer areas might have builder-grade fixtures that need upgrading. And everywhere in between has water heaters that eventually wear out and drains that eventually clog.

Your plumbing keeps your home running. Hot showers, clean dishes, flushing toilets, washing clothes, all of that depends on everything working right. When something goes wrong, you need someone who can fix it quickly and do it right the first time.

That's what we do. No fancy marketing language. Just reliable plumbing service from people who actually live and work in Little Rock. Give us a call when you need a new water heater installed, when your drains are acting up, or when you've got any plumbing problem that needs fixing.
