Ensuring your residential plumbing is in good condition is important for protecting your home. Your residence is an investment, but it’s also “home sweet home.” So how do you prevent damage and expensive repair bills? Making sure you have a water pressure regulator that is functioning properly is a good first step.

Protect Your Residential Plumbing with a Water Pressure Regulator

What Do Water Pressure Regulators Do?

Water pressure regulators do just what they claim to—they regulate the pressure of water entering your home. The pressure and speed of water from a public water main is often too great for residential plumbing, and it can cause leaking pipes and water heaters and other forms of damage if left unchecked. A water pressure regulator reduces the pressure, ensuring that only the optimal flow of water enters the home and that your residential plumbing is kept in top condition.

What if the Water Pressure Regulator Is Damaged?

Having a functioning water pressure regulator is key, so keep an eye out for water pressure that is unusually low or unusually high. Banging pipes can be another sign that your water pressure regulator is not working properly. A regulator is expected to last 10-15 years, so if yours is older or shows these signs of damage, contact our team at Top Notch Plumbing Inc. to make sure your residential plumbing is being protected.
