Pressure-Reducing Valve Installation & Repair in Baltimore, MD
Low water pressure is certainly a concern, but did you know high water pressure can be a problem, too? At United Air Temp, we provide pressure-reducing valve services to regulate your home’s water pressure.
Our skilled plumbers complete ongoing training to ensure we can meet all your plumbing service needs. If you have high water pressure, we provide expert pressure-reducing valve installation and repair to ensure the seamless functionality and longevity of your home’s plumbing pipes.
Water pressure is measured in psi or pounds per square inch. If your home’s water pressure is at 70 to 80 psi, it can damage your water supply pipes, fixtures, and plumbing appliances.
A pressure-reducing valve is the solution to high water pressure, regulating the force of water flowing through your pipes to a safe and manageable level.
A pressure-reducing valve is installed near your water shut-off valve to regulate your water supply before it’s dispersed through your pipes.
