Water Pressure Regulators
Protect your plumbing and appliances with properly set pressure.
Pressure over 80 psi will eat your pipes, water heater and washing machine valves alive. We test, install and replace pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) so your system runs in the safe zone.
Common water pressure regulators problems homeowners see
Pressure over 80 psi
High pressure stresses every joint, valve and appliance in the house. Arkansas homes on hillside and high-pressure mains see this regularly.
Banging pipes and slamming valves
Water hammer when a washer or dishwasher valve closes is a common high-pressure symptom.
Repeat leaks at supply lines and toilet fills
When several small leaks appear across the house, the pressure is usually the cause, not coincidence.
Pressure that swings or drops
A failed regulator can stick open, creep upward overnight, or choke flow to the whole house.
When to call a licensed plumber
- A gauge reads over 80 psi, or you have never had pressure tested
- Pipes bang when an appliance shuts off
- Toilet fill valves or supply lines keep failing
- A relief valve on the water heater is discharging
- Your regulator is original to an older home

Frequently asked
What water pressure should my house have?
Most residential systems should run in the 50 to 70 psi range. Above 80 psi, code requires pressure reduction and your plumbing pays for it if nothing is done.
How long do pressure regulators last?
Service life varies with incoming pressure, water conditions and the valve itself. Testing is the reliable way to determine whether a regulator is working correctly.
