Thank Your Plumbers — For Real!

Do You Have A Double Vanity But Only One Sink With Water Pressure? Call A Plumber Fast

11 January 2022 by Bill Turner

If you have one faucet on a double vanity delivering water with high pressure, and the other sink has poor pressure, you want to contact a plumber to make sure you don't have a water problem in the home. A water leak could lead to water damages and health concerns, and a blockage is a concern as well.

There are many different issues that could be forcing water to one sink or causing water to delay or not get to the other. Talk with the plumber about these concerns today.

Internal Leak

It's easy to look under the sink and see a little bit of the plumbing if it's exposed, this would show if there were water or not.  Unfortunately, there may be a leak that is behind the drywall and somewhere throughout the pipes in the house.

Water that has leaked and gotten into the building materials or is sitting stagnate can cause these concerns:

• Creation of mold and mildew
• Bacterial concerns
• Damage to the building materials
• Weaken the composition of the structure of the home

The plumber will be able to use cameras to see if there is a leak in the pipes somewhere around the sink, or if it's a deeper problem.

Blockage in the Sink Pipes

There could be a blockage somewhere right near the sink, or even somewhere else in the lines that is preventing the water to get to the sink. This is also something that plumber can diagnose when they are using a camera and flushing the pipes could be enough to clear this blockage. If not, the plumber will have to use a drain snake to get the clog loose.

Pressure Problems from the Main Line

The main water line of the home should have strong pressure from the city water entry point into the home. The plumber will test the pressure in other areas of the house and check to make sure that valves for this main line haven't been tampered with. The plumber will also test the pressure coming out of the hot water tank.

If you can't use both your sinks on a double vanity because the water pressure has become a big problem with one of them, it's time to call a plumber to make sure there aren't major problems and concerns that you have to deal with. Get a full plumbing inspection while the expert is at your home to prevent future repair needs as well.
