Hello, the water pressure in my house is quite small at certain area. And it is caused by congested pipes. Does anyone know of any pipe cleaning company? Does it work?

In your case it could be the incoming pipe that is already clogged over the years. If your saying some area the water Pressure is small, it could Be due to the water tap of your basin/kitchen sink is clogged with unwanted particles. Simply open te filter cap at the end of the cold/mixer tab and clean it. It that doesn't help it could be due to clogged stopvalve. Hope the tips helped. smile.gif

The other outlet having problem is on the first floor right? If so, this is mother nature. If you lift the water tank another 1 meter, you gain more pressure and gain more pressure.

If not maybe is something else.

If your pipes are indeed badly clogged, then you would first need to clean up your water tank and ensure that any water coming in are clean of mud, etc. This needs to be address first before you start clearing the clogged pipes. Else it would be an effort in vain.

Clean the water tank and install water filter at the incoming mains.

To clean up the water pipe, just remove the individual stop cock spindle and flush the respective pipe with pressured water. This is to allow the removal of any of the debris in the pipe. If your mains are strong, you could use them. Else, may need a booster pump.

If you are not familiar with these works, better to get a plumber to do it for you. biggrin.gif
