Water Pressure Repair in Collin County
Low water pressure makes daily routines frustrating. High water pressure silently damages plumbing components over months and years. Both problems have straightforward fixes when diagnosed correctly.
Diagnosing Pressure Problems
We start with a gauge test at the main hose bib - a 30-second step that tells us whether the problem is before or after the pressure regulating valve. If pressure at the bib is normal but weak at specific fixtures, the issue is localized (clogged aerator, failing cartridge). If pressure is low throughout the house, the PRV or main shut-off valve is the likely cause.
Pressure Regulating Valve Replacement
A PRV replacement takes 60-90 minutes. We install the new valve, set it to 55-60 PSI, and test at multiple points throughout the house before leaving. Most homeowners notice the change immediately in shower flow and appliance fill times.
