The Silent Killer of Plumbing Systems

Everyone loves a shower with strong water pressure. But there is such a thing as “too much of a good thing.”

 

Municipal water companies often pump water at very high pressure (80+ PSI) to reach fire hydrants and tall buildings. If that pressure enters your home unchecked, it acts like a jackhammer inside your pipes.

 

It blows out the seals on your faucets. It cracks the tank on your water heater. It causes “water hammer”. That loud banging noise when the washing machine turns off.

 

At On Tap Plumbing, we act as the bouncer for your home’s water supply. We install Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) that take that dangerous city pressure and lower it to a safe, steady flow for your family.

Our Pressure Control Services

We handle everything from standard home regulators to complex commercial valves.

A Pressure Reducing Valve is a bell-shaped device usually located near your main shut-off. If you don’t have one, or if yours is over 15 years old, your home is at risk. We install high-quality valves that keep your pressure in the safe zone (usually 50-60 PSI).

Like any mechanical part, these valves eventually fail. If you notice your pressure creeping up, or if your water flow suddenly drops to a trickle, the valve is likely stuck. We can adjust, clean, or replace the unit to restore balance.

For commercial properties and high-hazard situations, you need more than just a regulator. We offer reduced pressure zone valve services (RPZ). These specialized assemblies prevent backflow and manage pressure zones in large facilities. We handle the installation, testing, and repair of these critical safety devices.

Do your pipes bang or shudder when you turn off a faucet? That shockwave damages joints and causes leaks. We install water hammer arrestors and adjust your pressure zone valve services to stop the noise and protect your pipes.

Why Choose On Tap Plumbing?

Pressure issues can be tricky to diagnose. A lot of handymen guess. We measure.

 

We attach a pressure gauge to your system to see exactly what is happening. We don’t just sell you a part; we solve the problem.

 

Our “Warehouse on Wheels” trucks are stocked with various sizes of PRVs and RPZ kits. This means we can usually swap out a failed valve in a single visit, protecting your home immediately.

Maintenance Plan

A failed pressure-reducing valve is often the cause of a leaking water heater. Our maintenance plan includes a pressure check every year. We catch the spike in pressure before it blows the bottom out of your heater.

Special Offers and Discounts

Replacing a main valve is an investment in your home’s longevity. We help make it easier with our offers. We provide a 10% discount to military members, teachers, and first responders.

Financing Options

If high pressure has already caused damage, like a burst pipe or a flooded basement, the repair costs can pile up. We offer flexible financing options through Housecall Pro so you can fix the damage and the valve at the same time.

Certifications and Awards

We don’t just say we are experts. We have the credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the ideal water pressure for a home?
We recommend keeping it between 50 and 60 PSI. Anything over 80 PSI is considered dangerous for your appliances and voids many warranties.
Common signs include water hammer (banging pipes), toilets that run intermittently, dripping relief valves on water heaters, or sudden high/low pressure at the tap.
You can try, but be careful. Turning the bolt too much can spike the pressure and burst a pipe. We recommend having a pro do it with a gauge attached.
Yes. We provide pressure zone valve services for multi-story buildings and commercial facilities that require different pressure levels for different floors.
Typically 10 to 15 years. After that, the internal rubber diaphragm usually wears out or gets clogged with debris.
