Water Pressure Inspection

A water pressure issue is often just a symptom of a bigger problem. We provide comprehensive in-home inspections that check:

  • Municipal supply vs. indoor pressure
  • Regulator performance and setting
  • Signs of buildup, corrosion, or restriction
  • Pressure at multiple fixture points

Our goal is to uncover the real cause and recommend long-term fixes—not temporary workarounds.

Pressure-Reducing Valve (PRV) Repair & Replacement

Too much water pressure can quietly damage your pipes, water heater, and fixtures over time. A properly calibrated pressure-reducing valve (PRV) protects your home from costly leaks and bursts.

We offer:

  • PRV testing & tuning
  • Valve replacements (outdoor and indoor access)
  • Code-compliant installs with permits included
  • Pressure balancing for multi-unit buildings

If your home is over 10 years old and you’ve never checked your PRV, now is the time.

Faucet & Valve Cleaning or Repair

Sediment buildup, aging washers, and hard water scale can clog your fixtures and limit flow. Our team provides professional:

  • Aerator & cartridge cleanouts
  • Valve stem replacements
  • Fixture reseating and leak repair
  • Upgrades to pressure-balanced models

These small fixes often make a big difference—restoring pressure and improving water efficiency without major installs.

FAQs About Water Pressure Fixes

How do I know if I need a booster pump?

If your showers trickle, your upstairs faucets struggle, or water pressure drops when multiple fixtures run, a booster pump might be right for you. We’ll inspect and advise.

What’s the ideal home water pressure?

For most homes, 50–60 PSI is ideal. Anything over 80 PSI can damage plumbing and may be against code.

Do I need a permit to install a PRV or pump?

Yes, but we handle permitting and inspections for every installation, so you don’t have to worry about red tape.

Can I fix low water pressure on my own?

Sometimes. Cleaning aerators or replacing shower heads helps. But if the issue persists, it’s likely inside your plumbing or water supply setup.
