Is Your Highlands Ranch, CO Home Experiencing Water Pressure Problems? We Can Help!
When it comes to water pressure, it's ok to be Goldilocks. You need to have it just right. It doesn't matter if it's too high or too low, both circumstances come with a set of problems you'd do well to avoid. Local water districts recommend an incoming pressure of 60-70 psi (pounds per square inch) - anything outside of that range and you aren't getting the water service you deserve.
Southside Plumbing can install a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) that can help regulate the pressure of the water coming into your home. PRVs are a vital component of your home's plumbing and can help you avoid the damage caused by high pressure or lack of service caused by low pressure. Call us today at (303) 346-8426 to get started!
Is Your Pressure To High Or Too Low? Watch For These Signs.
Since you most likely aren't regularly checking your pressure you may not know if it's at the right level. Luckily your plumbing system can give you hints if something is amiss. Here are some things to look for:
High Pressure
- Leaking Pipes - High pressure can damage pipes and seals, causing leaks.
- "Water Hammer" - A loud banging sound when you turn off a kitchen or bathroom faucet.
- Broken Appliances - Higher pressure causes higher wear and tear on your equipment.
- Dripping Faucets - Pressure can get high enough that it pushes water past your spigot's controls.
Low Pressure
- Sudsy Clothes - Clothes in your washer aren't getting enough water per cycle to get rinsed.
- Unsatisfying Showers - There's nothing worse than a weak shower.
- Can't Run Two Faucets - Low pressure means you can't use two faucets at the same time.
- Dirty Dishes - Your dishwasher doesn't have the pressure necessary to do its job.
