Low water pressure in Riviera del Sol.
Shower gone weak, taps barely running? If it happened slowly over a few months, it's almost always limescale narrowing your pipes.
Tip: tell us if it's the whole house or just one tap or shower.
Common causes of low pressure
The most common cause here — a gradual squeeze on the internal diameter of old pipework.
A local build-up affecting just one fixture rather than the whole house.
If you already have a booster pump, it may be losing power with age.
Sometimes it's as simple as a valve that isn't fully open.
Water escaping elsewhere in the system takes pressure away from your tap.
Occasionally an issue further up the supply line, not inside your property at all.
Water pressure in Riviera del Sol — what to expect
Almost every low-pressure job we do in Riviera del Sol comes down to the same thing: 20 or 30 years of hard water slowly narrowing the inside of the pipes. It happens so gradually that people often don't notice until the shower is a fraction of what it used to be.
We test the system to confirm scale build-up rather than assuming, and if it turns out to be something else — a leak, a valve, or a pump issue — we'll tell you that instead of just recommending a softener as a default fix.

FAQ — low water pressure Riviera del Sol
Why has my pressure dropped slowly, not suddenly?+
That gradual pattern is the biggest clue. It means limescale is narrowing the inside of your pipes bit by bit, month after month, rather than a single fault causing a sudden drop.
Is it just one tap, or the whole house?+
Worth checking, because it changes what we look at. Whole-house pressure loss points to the mains supply or a shared section of pipe. One weak tap usually means a local blockage.
Could a leak be causing it?+
It's possible, especially if the pressure changed quickly rather than slowly. We'll rule that out first if the pattern doesn't fit typical scale build-up.
Will a water softener fix my pressure?+
It won't undo scale that's already built up, but it slows down future build-up significantly, so pressure doesn't keep dropping the same way.
