What we do
Protect your plumbing from high pressure.
A pressure reducing valve, or PRV, controls the water pressure entering your home. When it fails, pressure can climb too high and stress the whole plumbing system. We test pressure, inspect the valve location, and explain replacement options before work starts.
PRV replacement
Replacement of failed or aging pressure regulator valves when access allows.
Fixture protection
Proper pressure helps protect toilets, faucets, water heaters, supply lines, and appliances.

Typical range for a standard 1-inch PRV when access is straightforward and piping is in workable condition.
Pressure test
starting pointIncluded with assessment
We confirm pressure before recommending a replacement.
Additional piping
starting pointQuoted if needed
Extra work may be needed if pipes, unions, or shutoffs are corroded or poorly located.
Fixture issues
starting pointSeparate repair
High pressure may damage fixtures that need separate repair after pressure is corrected.
Prices are working placeholders and may be adjusted during final pricing review. Larger PRV sizes, difficult access, corroded piping, missing shutoffs, or additional corrections are quoted separately. We explain pricing up front before work starts.

Frequently asked
PRV Replacement questions, answered.
What is a PRV?
A PRV is a pressure reducing valve. It lowers incoming city water pressure to a safer level for your home plumbing system.
How do I know my PRV is failing?
Common signs include high pressure, banging pipes, fixture leaks, running toilets, and pressure that changes throughout the day.
What is the right water pressure for my house?
Most homes should not run extremely high pressure. We test the pressure and adjust the new PRV to a safe working range.
Can high pressure damage a water heater?
Yes. High pressure can stress water heaters, expansion systems, supply lines, and valves.
How long does PRV replacement take?
Many replacements are completed in a couple of hours, but access and pipe condition can change the timeline.
Can I replace a PRV myself?
It is not recommended unless you are qualified. PRV replacement involves main water shutoff, pressure adjustment, and leak testing.
