Why high water pressure can damage your plumbing
Water pressure is easy to overlook because most homeowners only notice it when a faucet runs weakly or a pipe makes noise. But pressure that is too high can put unnecessary stress on water heaters, toilet valves, faucets, appliance hoses, and piping connections.
A pressure reducing valve, often called a PRV, is designed to regulate the pressure entering the home. Like other plumbing components, it can wear out or stop controlling pressure correctly. A simple pressure test can help identify whether a regulator needs adjustment or replacement.
If you have repeated leaks, dripping relief valves, or concerns about pressure, have the system tested. Our licensed master plumber can help identify pressure-related issues and recommend appropriate repairs.
Know where your main water shutoff is
Locate your home’s main water shutoff before an emergency. Make sure the valve is accessible, and if it is damaged, stuck, or leaking, arrange for repair rather than forcing it. A working shutoff can make a major difference when a supply line fails.

Frequently asked questions
What is a pressure reducing valve (PRV)?
A PRV helps regulate incoming water pressure to a safer, more consistent level. Excessive pressure can stress valves, appliances, fixtures, and water piping.
What are signs of high water pressure?
Dripping relief valves, noisy pipes, premature fixture wear, and unusually strong flow can be clues, but pressure should be measured rather than guessed.
Can you replace my main water shutoff valve?
Yes. We replace many residential main shutoff valves and can assess the existing piping and access before recommending a repair or replacement.
