Mike Mathis Plumbing | Reliable Plumber in Greenwood, SC

In our area, low water pressure is often caused by mineral buildup in aerators or, more seriously, corrosion in older galvanized pipes. We typically start by checking and cleaning your faucet aerators and showerheads. If the issue persists, a plumbing inspection can determine if corroded pipes are the culprit. We can then repair or replace the affected sections with modern, corrosion-resistant materials to restore strong, consistent water flow throughout your home.

While they don't directly affect pressure, a malfunctioning garbage disposal can lead to clogs further down your drain line, which may create flow issues. More critically for Greenwood homes, a failed sump pump can lead to basement or crawl space flooding, which can damage plumbing infrastructure. We recommend regular inspections and prompt repair of both appliances to prevent secondary problems that could impact your home's entire plumbing system and water management.

Yes, an aging water heater can be a factor. Over time, sediment buildup inside the tank can reduce efficiency and pressure. More importantly, as internal components corrode, it can release particles that travel through your pipes, accelerating corrosion elsewhere in your system. We offer professional water heater repair, flushing, and installation services. Replacing an old unit with a new, efficient model not only improves your hot water supply but also helps protect your home's pipes from further corrosion-related damage.
