The customer contacted us because their home’s water pressure was too high.
We installed a new Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) to protect the entire plumbing system from excessive pressure and unnecessary wear.
How the job was completed:
- Installed the new PRV immediately after the main water shutoff valve.
- Used durable ProPress connections for long-lasting, leak-resistant performance.
- Adjusted the water pressure to an optimal 65 PSI for a single-story home (for two-story homes, we typically recommend around 75 PSI).
- Tested and calibrated the system to ensure proper operation.
According to plumbing standards, water pressure should not exceed 80 PSI. Higher pressure can damage pipes, faucets, water heaters, appliances, and other plumbing fixtures throughout the home.
Technician’s Note:
“High water pressure usually has some very noticeable symptoms. Water shoots out of faucets with excessive force, faucets and fixtures often begin to drip, and you may hear banging or loud noises in the pipes when shutting off water. That’s a sign of water hammer caused by excessive pressure.”
