Understanding Water Pressure in Commercial Buildings

The ideal water pressure in commercial buildings should range from 40 psi to 80 psi (pounds per square inch). It is important to maintain water pressure within this range to optimize the performance of plumbing appliances and fixtures. Proper water pressure also prevents water leaks, minimizes water waste, and extends the lifespan of your plumbing pipes and other fixtures. If your water pressure drops below 40 psi or has gone excessively high, get in touch with a professional plumbing repair service for an inspection.

Here at Rooter Man Plumbing, we’ve helped countless customers experiencing water pressure problems in commercial buildings and residential properties. We are able to determine the root cause of water pressure issues and the right solutions. In this article, we will cover some of the essential things you need to know about water pressure in commercial buildings.

Is Your Water Pressure Too High? Here's How to Tell

The normal water pressure in commercial buildings should range from 40 psi to 80 psi. If the water pressure is too high, you may notice banging sounds coming from water pipes and spitting from the faucet aerator. In extreme cases, very high water pressure can lead to cracks or even pipe bursts. On the other hand, low water pressure can lead to inefficient appliance performance. For instance, insufficient water pressure can cause incomplete toilet flushes or the need to flush the toilet multiple times to clear the waste.

What Causes Low Water Pressure?

  • Partially closed or malfunctioning shut-off valves restricting water flow
  • Leaking pipes
  • Faulty pressure regulator
  • Clogged pipes
