Water Pressure Issues - too much pressure or too little pressure
When the pressure of water becomes too low and you find that you cannot, for instance, undertake two chores requiring water at the same time, it may be that the pressure of water has become too weak and some assessment is necessary to find where the problem stems from. As such, it may be essential to assess the pressure of the water supply system. Low pressurized water may be inadequate, in that it may fail to serve fixtures; whilst high pressurized water may be detrimental in that it may damage pipes and fixtures.
If you find it is a problem with a constriction in the valves and pipes, unclogging of the pipes may not be possible as old pipes may have deposits of lime that may hinder the normal flow of water. Lime buildup also hinders unclogging. As such it may be necessary to re-pipe. A professional plumber may be required at this point. If the problem is at a single fixture, find for the nuance of the problem either for restriction of flow, aerators that may be clogged, washers that may be dislodged or a stop valve that may be partially closed. And aerator may be taken out and cleaned.
No Water to Fixtures
If the sink faucets doesn’t work well, try removing the aerator (aerator can simply found screwed onto the faucet head). If water runs well simply clean or replace the aerator. In the event that there are no water fixtures secured in place; then this is caused by clogged pipes. If you have old iron pipes, these pipe are known to cause rust, and when rust breaks loose it plugs up aerators, valve, and anywhere there is a restriction in the pipes. A professional plumber may be required at this point to further diagnose the problem and if re-pipe is necessary.
Replacing Pressure Regulators
A pressure regulator is a control valve that reduces water pressure. Pressure for instance the water coming in from the city in to the house runs from 95 psi (pounds per square inch) to 125 psi, then the regulator reduces to 55-65 psi no more then that for residential. Regulator may be placed to manage the pressure of water whilst a thermal expansion tank could be essential as it would complement the regulator and adjust it as deemed fit. It is important to decipher how to solder pipes made of copper as well as how to integrate push-fit fittings.
Bad Smell in Homes or businesses
Bad smells may emanate from a shower drain, crack vent stack in the walls, bad toilet wax seals, as well as cracked P-traps. This may be brought about by a clog or a dry trap. Once a bad smell is noted, either in the home or in a business it is important that you call Rescue Plumbers Inc. hotline to secure the services of a professional plumber as bad smells can be potentially harmful to health.

When the gas company technician arrives, he or she will shut off the gas supply for safety and determine the source of the leak. If the leak source comes from the gas company main line before the meter, gas company technician will take proper measures on securing that leak and fixing it.
Gas Pressure Test
Testing of gas pressure is important as the main intent is to ensure that the gas is distributed to homes is at the right pressure. To test the pressure of gas it may be essential that a gauge specifically specialized to measure the pressure of the gas is utilized. For the most part, testing of the gas pressure is undertaken at the gas meter.
