Plumbing Repairs

High water pressure might feel great in the shower, but it's silently damaging your entire plumbing system. Municipal water supplies in Walnut and the San Gabriel Valley often deliver water at 80-150 PSI—far exceeding the 50-70 PSI recommended for residential plumbing. Over time, this excessive pressure stresses pipes, fittings, appliances, and fixtures, leading to leaks, burst supply lines, and premature failure of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. A properly functioning water pressure regulator (also called a PRV or pressure reducing valve) is your home's first line of defense against pressure-related damage.

Pressure regulators typically last 7-12 years before needing replacement. Signs that yours may be failing include fluctuating water pressure, banging pipes (water hammer), dripping faucets, running toilets, or visible leaks at the PRV itself. Our technicians test your incoming pressure, assess the condition of your existing regulator, and install a new high-quality PRV calibrated to the optimal 55-60 PSI range for most Walnut homes. We use commercial-grade regulators from trusted manufacturers and back our work with the quality service that comes with being a licensed California contractor (CSLB #1005582).
