5 Things to Know About Your Water Pressure

When it comes to needing a plumber in South Florida, countless people have turned to using our services. We have helped many people with all aspects of plumbing, including those that involve water pressure. Many people have concerns about their water pressure, especially if it seems to low or even too high. The more you know about your water pressure, the more comfortable you will be.

There’s an episode of the popular comedy sitcom “Seinfeld,” where the water pressure has went down in Jerry and Kramer’s apartment building. They walk around with their hair flat and they are miserable, wanting the water pressure to come back. Theirs was due to the building manager installing low flow shower heads, but there can be other reasons for people to have a low water pressure. Nobody wants a low shower pressure, so it’s important to ensure that your water pressure is right where it should be.

Here are 5 things to know about your water pressure:

  1. Water pressure matters more than you realize. Most people take it for granted, like most plumbing issues, until there’s a problem. You will notice a problem if the water pressure is coming out to low when you take a shower, for example, so keep in mind that it really does matter.
  2. A home’s water pressure is the amount of force that is being used to bring the water into your home from out at the main line.
  3. Water pressure is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). A home’s normal water pressure will usually be somewhere between 30 and 80 PSI.
  4. If you have noticed that your water pressure seems to have gotten weaker over the years it may very well be from a buildup in the pipes. If it’s happened quickly then there could be something blocking it that is causing the problem.
  5. Your water pressure can be too low or too high and neither are ideal situations. You want your water pressure to be within a normal range so that your family is comfortable and your pipes are being cared for properly.

Tips for Checking for Water Leaks in Your Home


One of the last things a homeowner wants is to have water leaks coming from their plumbing system. Sometimes those leaks are easy to find and are right in front of us, but other times they can seem hidden and difficult to locate. Our plumbing professionals have helped many people in the Miami-Dade area to locate and address plumbing leaks. Being able to find water leaks can help save you money, as well as help you avoid emergency situations later on.

Water leaks can be problematic for homeowners, renters, and those with commercial properties alike. Not only can leaks lead to water damage, which can be costly to repair and can even lead to mold and mildew problems, but it can also be a sign that there’ s a bigger problem on the way. The small leak could turn into an emergency situation if left unchecked. It’s a good idea for people to stay on top of any water leaks that maybe in their home.

Here are some tips for checking for water leaks in your home:

  • Make sure all of your faucets are off and that you are not using any water and then go out and take a look at your water meter. If you know you are not using any water in the home, it should reflect that. If it doesn’t, there may be a leak that is causing it to continue to show usage being calculated. You can also monitor it over an hour or two to see if it continues to show usage, even though nothing is being used at the time.
  • Monitor your water bill to see if it is showing more usage than it usually does. If you see this sudden spike and you can’t account for it, then there may be a leak somewhere in the plumbing that you are not aware of.
  • Grab some food coloring and put a couple of drops in the back of the toilet in the tank. Give it 10-15 minutes to sit in there and then take a look in the toilet. If you can see the coloring in the toilet bowl then you know the water is leaking into the bowl.
  • Take a look at your faucets, which is where many leaks take place. Even a slow drip can add up to a lot of water being leaked out over time. Leaky faucets are usually a quick fix for those who have the right tools on hand.
  • A plumber can always help you locate, as well as fix, any leaks in your home. Call a plumber to get assistance if you feel you have a leak that you can’t locate.

Leaks in your plumbing are no fun and nobody wants them, but finding them is crucial. Anytime you suspect a plumbing leak it’s wise to identify and repair it as quickly as possible. We at Mokher Plumbing have been serving the Miami area for over 40 years. We have helped countless people with their plumbing leaks, and we can help you, too.

What Our A+ Better Business Bureau Rating Means for You


If you are looking for a plumber in South Florida you will have many to choose from, but not all of them will provide you with the kind of customer service you deserve. In fact, one way you can determine the reputation of any plumbing company in the Miami-Dade area is to take a look at their Better Business Bureau rating. We’re proud of our A+ rating and what it means for our customers!

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) gives us at Mokher Plumbing an A+ rating. While that may sound great, and it is, what exactly does that mean to potential customers who may be reviewing our rating? Here’s what that means:

  • The BBB ratings are an overall assessment of how the organization believes a company will treat its customers. The information is based upon the feedback that they receive from customers who have interacted with the company before. They also take into account any complaints they may have received from customers.
  • To come up with the rating the BBB factors in such areas as the business’s complaint history, type of business, how long they have been in business, how well they honor their commitments, how transparent they are, and how honest they are in advertising.
  • Combining all of this information together, the BBB comes up with a rating, so that potential customers can get third-party trusted information about what type of service they can expect from a business.
