High Water Pressure? Here's Why Installing a Pressure Regulator Matters
Updated: Aug 10
At CENTRO Plumbing and Rooter, we recently helped a homeowner whose water pressure was measuring over 100 PSI—well above the recommended residential range.
While high water pressure may seem like a good thing, it can actually cause serious problems for your plumbing system. Excessive pressure puts unnecessary strain on pipes, fixtures, faucets, water heaters, washing machines, and other appliances. Over time, it can lead to leaks, burst pipes, and costly repairs.
This home's water pressure was measuring over 100 PSI, which can put excessive strain on your plumbing system and lead to leaks, damaged fixtures, and premature appliance failure.
Our team installed a new pressure reducing valve (PRV) along with a new ball valve to bring the water pressure back to a safe level and help protect the home's plumbing for years to come.
If you suspect your home's water pressure is too high, contact
CENTRO Plumbing and Rooter for a professional inspection and reliable plumbing solutions throughout the Bay Area.
Our Solution to REGULATE WATER PRESSURE
To protect the home's plumbing system, we installed:
A new Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) to regulate the incoming water pressure.
A new ball valve to provide reliable water shut-off and improve the overall plumbing system.
After installation, the home's water pressure was adjusted to a safe operating level, helping extend the life of the plumbing system and reducing the risk of future damage.
Signs Your BAY AREA Home May Have High Water Pressure

Frequent plumbing leaks
Dripping faucets
Running toilets
Premature failure of water heaters or appliances

If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's a good idea to have your water pressure tested by a professional plumber.
