Linda, who lives in one of the historic homes near Washington Lane, contacted us at 2 AM when her main water line burst during a February freeze. “I called three other plumbers first, but nobody answered their phones,” she told us. “Central Plumbing picked up immediately and had someone at my house in 45 minutes, even in the middle of a snowstorm.” Our technician quickly shut off the water supply, repaired the damaged section with freeze-resistant piping, and completed water pressure testing to ensure optimal flow throughout her home. “They didn’t just fix the immediate problem – they made sure my whole system was working properly and showed me how to prevent future issues.”
Robert, a homeowner near the Jenkintown Library area, had been struggling with inconsistent water pressure for months. “Another company came out twice and kept telling me it was normal for an older home, but I knew something wasn’t right,” he explained. Central Plumbing performed comprehensive water pressure testing that revealed partially blocked pipes and an aging pressure regulator. “Within four hours, they had everything working perfectly. My showers actually have pressure now, and my dishwasher fills properly. I wish I had called them first instead of wasting time with that other company.”
Jennifer, who owns a property in the residential neighborhood near Summit Avenue, needed extensive plumbing updates for a home renovation. “The previous plumber we hired did sloppy work and left us with leaks and pressure problems,” she shared. Central Plumbing completely replumbed the affected areas, installed a new water heater, and performed thorough pressure testing throughout the entire system. “Their attention to detail was incredible. Everything works beautifully, and they explained exactly what they were doing and why. They’re true professionals who take pride in their work.”
Water pressure testing involves using specialized gauges to measure water pressure at multiple points throughout your plumbing system, from the main water line entry point to individual fixtures. Central Plumbing technicians test pressure at various faucets, showerheads, and appliances to identify inconsistencies or pressure drops that indicate problems like pipe restrictions, leaks, or faulty pressure regulators. In Jenkintown’s older homes, this testing often reveals issues related to aging pipes or mineral buildup that requires professional attention. Our comprehensive testing process typically takes 30-60 minutes and provides a complete analysis of your home’s water pressure performance.
Low water pressure in Jenkintown properties can result from several factors including corroded pipes common in older homes, mineral buildup from hard water conditions throughout Montgomery County, faulty pressure regulators, partially closed main shut-off valves, or leaks in the water line. Additionally, older plumbing systems may have undersized pipes that can’t handle modern water demands. Central Plumbing’s diagnostic approach examines each potential cause systematically, using advanced equipment to pinpoint the exact source of pressure problems and recommend the most effective solutions for your specific situation.
