What Locals Are Saying About Our Plumbing Services

Tired of Weak Water Flow?

Poor water pressure is more than a frustration — it affects your shower, your appliances, and your daily routine. At MW Donnelly Plumbing, we provide professional water pressure testing, diagnosis, and repair across Sunbury, Gisborne, Craigieburn, Bacchus Marsh, and surrounding areas.

Whether you’re dealing with low water pressure, fluctuating flow, or high pressure that’s damaging your fittings, our team gets to the root of the issue — and fixes it properly.

Common Water Pressure Problems We Fix

Weak shower flow
Slow-filling washing machines and dishwashers
Taps that trickle instead of flow
Pipes that bang or vibrate (water hammer)
Fluctuating hot and cold pressure
Pressure too high – damaging tapware
Pressure drops when multiple taps are used

We use specialist testing equipment to measure pressure at your mains, valves, and fixtures — so we can locate the exact point of failure and apply the correct fix.

What Causes Water Pressure Problems?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. That’s why we perform a complete system assessment. Common causes include:

Corroded or narrowed internal pipework
Faulty or ageing pressure-limiting valves
Blockages in aerators or fixtures
Faulty hot water unit valves
Water leaks within the system
Incorrect pipe sizing in older homes
Shared water mains with multiple properties
Council supply pressure fluctuations

Whether it’s a single tap or your whole house, Mark and his team are equipped to get your flow back to normal.

Solutions Tailored to Your System

Once we’ve identified the problem, we recommend the most effective (and cost-effective) fix, which may include:

Replacing faulty or old pressure-reducing valves (PRVs)
Flushing out blocked tap filters and aerators
Replacing corroded or kinked pipework
Upgrading to larger diameter pipes
Installing a pressure-limiting valve on your water meter
Adjusting hot water system regulators
Detecting and repairing hidden water leaks
Rebalancing dual pressure systems for consistent flow

We explain your options clearly — no pushy upsells, just professional advice that fits your budget and household needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my water pressure so low in just one tap?

It may be a blocked aerator or internal tap fault. We can clean or replace the part quickly.

Can you increase pressure in the shower?

Yes — we can assess and adjust your pressure legally and safely, often by replacing valves or clearing blockages.

Is high pressure a bad thing?

Yes. Pressure over 500 kPa can damage appliances and void warranties. We install pressure-limiting valves to protect your system.

How long does it take to fix water pressure problems?

Most issues are diagnosed and repaired on the same day, depending on parts required.

Can you service rural or semi-rural properties with tank systems?

Yes. We help customers on tank, pump, and gravity-fed setups with pressure regulation solutions.
