Many Nairobi residents ignore low pressure until it worsens. High pressure often goes unnoticed until a pipe bursts at night. Early adjustment prevents thousands in damages.
We respond within 2–4 hours in Nairobi core areas. Outside Nairobi we coordinate travel for larger jobs. All technicians are vetted, uniformed, and equipped with ID.
Preventive tip: Check pressure monthly. Ideal range is 2.5–4.5 bar (35–65 psi). Below 1.5 bar or above 5 bar needs attention.
