Pressure Regulators in Houston
Professional Pressure Regulator Services in Spring, The Woodlands, Cypress, Katy & Surrounding Areas
The truth is, high water pressure is anything but great. Water pressure causes a variety of plumbing problems to develop prematurely, from burst pipes to worn out fill valves, dripping faucets to ruptured water heaters. Pressure regulating valves, or PRVs, ensure water pressure is at a safe level for your household’s plumbing in order to prevent damage caused by high pressure. You should not attempt to fix this issue on your own, so contact IGD Plumbing & Air for help!
The ideal pressure is 60 pounds per square inch (60 PSI), but pressure over 80 pounds per square inch (80 PSI) can cause problems. The manufacturers of water heaters advise that pressures exceeding 80 PSI can cause premature wear and tear on your tank. Unusual noises in the plumbing system and problems with your plumbing system may indicate high pressure. Among other problems, burst pipes, leaks, flooding, and other problems are associated with this problem.

Pressure Regulator Maintenance & Repair
Your pressure regulator should be maintained regularly to ensure that the water pressure in your home remains at the optimal level. If your water pressure isn’t right, you will likely encounter a number of problems. Maintaining the ideal water pressure is what your pressure regulator does.
Regular maintenance is essential, which is why we:
- Inspect for leaking/broken pilot systems
- Clean and maintain strainer screens to prevent control valve failure
- Test and check your system to ensure it’s working like it should
- Inspect for air that can cause errors in pressure readings
- Replace or repair blocked fittings
