Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) Replacement and Installation Services

The main water source that provides water to the home produces a lot of pressure, which is why it is so important to have a properly functioning pressure reducer valve, or PRV. A PRV will regulate the water pressure before it enters the home’s plumbing fixtures.

While high water pressure might be great for baths and showers, it can cause unnecessary stress to plumbing fixtures and appliances. This can result in premature repair and replacement services to those fixtures. If water pressure is a problem in your home, hiring a plumber who can test and resolve the problem is your best bet.

Viking Mechanical Services, LLC of Longmont is a professional heating, cooling, and plumbing company providing residential and commercial clients throughout Northern Colorado with quality plumbing maintenance, repair, and installation services to include water pressure testing and PRV repair, replacement, and installation.

The most common components of the plumbing system that are affected by high water pressure include:

Plumbing Fixtures:

Unregulated, or high water pressure, causes added stress to toilets, shower heads, faucets, and other plumbing fixtures, resulting in premature wear and tear and the need for frequent repairs or replacement of the fixtures. A qualified plumbing technician will be able to provide the proper testing of your home’s water pressure and offer PRV services that will correct the issue.

Plumbing Appliances:

Hot water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers can become compromised when the home’s water pressure is too high and repair and replacement costs can be excessive. Ensuring that the PRV is properly regulating your home’s water pressure is the best way to avoid costly repair or replacement services.

Water Supply Lines:

High water pressure can lead to busted hoses, banging pipes, and leaks, which can cause water damage to the home’s interior. If your water pressure isn’t regulated and it has affected the water supply lines in your home, the plumbing technicians at Viking Mechanical Services, LLC can help.

Regulating your home’s water pressure can make all the difference in the health of your plumbing system.
