Water pressure plays a crucial role in the health of your home’s plumbing system. Too low, and your showers and faucets feel weak and ineffective. Too high, and you risk serious damage to your pipes, appliances, and fixtures over time.
This is where a water pressure regulator comes in—a small but essential device that controls and stabilizes the water pressure entering your home. If you’re dealing with pressure issues or suspect your current regulator isn’t working properly, it may be time for a professional inspection or replacement.
At Bobby Blue Plumbing, we specialize in pressure regulator installation, repair, and replacement throughout the Inland Empire, including San Bernardino, Riverside, Ontario, and Fontana. Our licensed plumbers are here to ensure your system is balanced, safe, and performing at its best.
A pressure regulator (also called a PRV, or pressure-reducing valve) is installed on the main water line, typically where the water enters your home from the city’s supply. It automatically reduces incoming water pressure to a safe and consistent level for your plumbing system.
Without a properly working regulator, high water pressure can:
Keeping your water pressure in check isn’t just about comfort—it’s about protecting your entire plumbing system and avoiding expensive repairs down the line.
Because the pressure regulator is usually installed outside or in a basement, many homeowners don’t realize it needs maintenance or replacement until problems occur. Here are some common signs that your pressure regulator may be failing:
Unusually High or Low Water Pressure
A sudden drop in pressure—or water that blasts out too strongly—could indicate a malfunctioning PRV.
Banging or Noisy Pipes
Known as “water hammer,” these noises happen when water is moving too fast through the pipes due to excess pressure.
Leaky Fixtures or Appliances
High pressure can put stress on faucet seals, shower heads, and water heaters, causing leaks and breakdowns.
Inconsistent Flow
If your water pressure seems to change from one faucet to the next—or varies at different times of day—your pressure regulator may not be doing its job.
High Water Bills
Excess pressure can lead to increased water usage and waste, which will show up in your monthly bill.
Water pressure that’s too high may not seem like an emergency, but over time it can cause serious and costly damage to your home’s plumbing system. A small investment in a working pressure regulator can prevent thousands of dollars in pipe repairs, fixture replacements, or water damage restoration.
At Bobby Blue Plumbing, we offer quick diagnostics and professional replacement of faulty pressure regulators. We’ll test your system, determine whether the regulator can be repaired or should be replaced, and install a new unit if needed—often on the same day.
Our friendly and knowledgeable plumbing team is available throughout San Bernardino, Riverside, Ontario, Fontana, and nearby cities. Whether you’re experiencing pressure problems now or just want to make sure your home’s water pressure is within a safe range, we’re here to help.
We use top-quality parts and install everything to code, ensuring that your water system is safe, efficient, and built to last. If you’ve never had your pressure checked, or it’s been more than a few years, it may be time to schedule an inspection.
