Pennington and Sons - Gainesville's Reliable Plumbing Company

Low water pressure in Gainesville is often due to mineral buildup from hard water clogging your showerhead or faucet aerators, a faulty pressure regulator, or issues with older galvanized pipes that have corroded inside. Our first step is a thorough plumbing inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. Depending on the diagnosis, our repair could involve cleaning or replacing the shower fixture, repairing or replacing the pressure-reducing valve, or recommending a pipe replacement with modern materials to restore strong, consistent water flow throughout your home.

Yes, a broken and leaking shutoff valve should be addressed promptly to prevent water damage to your cabinetry and flooring. For Gainesville homeowners, this is a common repair we handle daily. The process involves shutting off the main water supply to your home, safely removing the old, corroded, or faulty valve, and installing a new, high-quality quarter-turn valve. We ensure a perfect seal and test for leaks before restoring your water. This repair not only stops the leak but also gives you a more reliable valve for future use.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection for Gainesville homes in several key situations: if you're purchasing an older home, if you're experiencing recurring clogs or multiple minor leaks (which can signal wider pipe issues), before a major renovation, or if you simply haven't had your system checked in over five years. Our comprehensive inspection covers water pressure tests, checks for hidden leaks, assesses the condition of pipes and shutoff valves, and evaluates your water heater and drainage systems. This proactive service can identify small problems before they become major, costly emergencies.
