Pressure-Reducing Valves in Northern Virginia and Washington D.C.
High water pressure is good, but water pressure that’s too high can damage your plumbing systems and appliances.
At United Air Temp, our plumbing specialists can help ensure the force flowing through your pipes is just right by installing pressure-reducing valves. These are installed near the shut-off valve on the main water line to help regulate the home’s water pressure.
Contact United Air Temp to learn more about pressure-reducing valves and how they will help ensure your home has even, reliable pressure.
How Pressure-Reducing Valves Work
Pressure-reducing valves cause resistance to the water flow. Inside the valve, a spring diaphragm tightens when it senses high pressure. This creates resistance that keeps your water pressure within the recommended 40 to 60 psi (pounds per square inch).
This is important because if water pressure falls below this level, you could experience a low-pressure shower. If it rises above this level and reaches 70 to 80 psi, it can damage pipes, pipe joints, faucets, fixtures, and appliances.
Contact United Air Temp to learn why it’s crucial to maintain your water pressure at a steady, consistent level in your home.
Signs You Need a Pressure-Reducing Valve
Many homeowners don’t know what signs to look for that indicate their water pressure is too high. Here are some signs we recommend our clients keep an eye on:
Significant or complete loss of water pressure
Water pressure fluctuates consistently
Hammering or vibrating noises coming from your walls
Fixtures are constantly leaking
The toilet is continuously running
Water bill fluctuations
Cracks around fixtures, walls, or tiles
Toilets, fixtures, and appliances need constant repairs or replacing
