Low Water Pressure: What to Do and Who to Call
Low water pressure: what to do first, which warning signs matter, and when to bring in a licensed plumber.
What Causes Low Water Pressure?
Understanding low water pressure helps homeowners in Tampa Bay make informed decisions about when to call a plumber.
Warning Signs
- Weak flow from one or more faucets or the shower
- Pressure that drops further when another fixture is running
- Pressure loss that came on gradually rather than suddenly
- Low pressure only at certain fixtures, not the whole house
- Sputtering or air in the lines along with low pressure
When to Call a Plumber
Call a plumber if low pressure affects multiple fixtures, came on suddenly, or persists after cleaning aerators -- it can point to a hidden leak or pipe scale buildup.
What To Do Right Now
- Check whether the low pressure affects one fixture or the whole house
- Clean faucet aerators and showerheads, a simple and common cause
- Call CDS Service Co at (813) 590-7499
- Note when the drop started and whether it was gradual or sudden

This was to be my 5 th estimate for a septic repair. The two gentlemen that arrived were on time, personable, knowledgeable and super helpful. They determined that I only needed a ‘ replacement float’!!! Estimates were much lower than other companies. Quality remained! It has been a difficult few years for everyone, I’m certain. This team was so wonderful!!! I am very grateful and thankful that I found this honest , trustworthy company. Rainbows!!! Had this company come out again as my septic field needed replacing after 30 years . Jordon, Justin, Matthew and Zay did an amazing job.. I like to watch and learn. Everything was explained to me..the job was completed in time specified. They have a guarantee for parts and labor. I needed help with my kitchen sink and Jorden even went to hardware store to find appropriate parts. I felt like I had my kids here. Smart , they know their business, caring, timely… What more could you ask for?

These guys are fantastic!!! Scheduled to replace my hot water heater with a tankless and Friday night ( of course) my old one sprung a leak.... The walked me through how to shut it off and I was immediately moved to a priority. They are personable, polite, clean and professional. I can't say enough nice things about them. I will definitely be using them in the future to set up a washer and dryer hook up in my condo. Just a pleasure to work with.

Their plumber, Josh, came out same-day, was friendly, and solved our in-wall leak quickly. The new copper looks great, and we were very impressed with his knowledge and skill. Would recommend!

We’ve been working with CDS Plumbing in Tampa for a full home re-pipe and water line replacement, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. Justin has been incredibly patient and professional throughout what turned into a long, drawn-out project. The communication has been excellent — we were always informed when the team was arriving or if there were any changes to the plan. Pricing was completely transparent from the start, and any issues that came up were handled quickly and professionally. They also worked seamlessly with our other contractors, which made the whole process much smoother. It’s rare to find a contractor with this level of communication, accountability, and professionalism.
