Hidden Plumbing Issue: High Water Pressure

Most people think strong water pressure is a good thing… but too much pressure can actually damage your plumbing system over time.

What high water pressure can cause:

• Leaks in pipes and fittings

• Shortened lifespan of water heaters & appliances

• Dripping faucets or running toilets

• Burst pipes (especially in older homes)

How to know if you have it:

If your water feels extra forceful or you hear banging noises in your pipes (water hammer), your pressure might be too high.

Quick Tip:

Ideal home water pressure should be between 40–60 PSI. Anything higher can lead to costly repairs.

A simple pressure test and a pressure reducing valve (PRV) can protect your entire plumbing system.

Don’t wait for a leak to find out—have your pressure checked today!
