Water meter and copper supply piping near the main line, where pressure-regulating valves are typically installed

We test your home's water pressure, install or replace pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) when it's running too high, and diagnose the cause when it's running too low. Consistently high pressure quietly stresses pipes, water heaters, and appliances — often for years before a failure makes the problem obvious.

Watch for these

Signs of a Water Pressure Problem

Signs you need this

✓Banging or hammering sounds when a fixture shuts off
✓Frequent pinhole leaks or fixture failures
✓A hose or supply line that bursts unexpectedly
✓Noticeably weak flow at showers or faucets
✓A water heater that seems to fail sooner than it should

Why it happens

Municipal water pressure varies by location and time of day, and homes on higher ground or near a main pumping station often see pressure well above the safe range for household plumbing. A failed or missing pressure-reducing valve is the most common cause of consistently high pressure; low pressure is more often tied to pipe buildup, a partially closed valve, or a supply-side issue.

Our process

How We Diagnose and Fix Pressure Issues

We test your actual pressure

A simple gauge reading tells us exactly where your home stands against the safe range.

We check your existing PRV

A failed or aging pressure-reducing valve is often the whole problem.

We install or replace as needed

A new PRV set to the correct pressure protects everything downstream.

We retest to confirm

We verify the fix actually brought pressure into the safe range.

Questions

Water Pressure Questions, Answered

What water pressure is considered too high?

Most plumbing codes consider anything above 80 psi too high for household systems. Many municipal lines run higher than that without a working pressure-reducing valve to bring it down.

Can high water pressure really damage my plumbing?

Yes — sustained high pressure stresses pipe joints, fixture seals, and appliance connections, which is a common hidden cause of pinhole leaks and premature water heater failure.

Why is my water pressure suddenly low?

It can point to a partially closed valve, sediment buildup in older pipe, or occasionally a supply-side issue from the municipal system — we test to narrow it down.

How long do pressure-reducing valves last?

Typically 8 to 12 years, though they can fail sooner. A PRV that’s stuck or worn is one of the most common causes of a sudden pressure change.

Is low water pressure ever a safety issue?

It's usually more of an inconvenience than a safety issue, though very low pressure can occasionally indicate a leak elsewhere in the system that’s worth checking.
