Why Is My Water Pressure So High?

Do you ever wonder why your water pressure is so high and what it can do to your home? Read our blog by our plumbers at Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling.

 

SinkImagine this: you go to take a shower, you turn on the water, and you notice that the pressure is too high. Now, most people enjoy a strong water pressure stream as part of their shower, but when it is too high, it can be a cause for concern. This may be because the pressure regulator is bad and needs replaced. This component is crucial in helping make sure all faucets and showers release the correct water pressure. Another potential cause may be the thermal expansion of the home’s water.

If you are experiencing high water pressure, it is important to make sure you try and remedy the situation as soon as possible.

At Summer Plumbing Heating & Cooling, our plumbers serve Indiana and Ohio with the most comprehensive services to help you deal with any plumbing problem you may have. We are aware of the various dangers of high water pressure and what signs indicate this issue. For instance, you may notice some of the following signs:

  • Loud and banging pipes
  • Faucet aerator spitting when turned on
  • Faucets leaking
  • Toilets running
  • Short life of washing machine
  • Short life of water heater

High water pressure can cause a number of issues in the home. You may also experience leaks in certain areas of the plumbing, a water heater tank explosion, septic flooding or failure, and more. It is important to take action quickly to save parts of your home and avoid costly repairs later on. Make sure you regularly check the PSI to ensure it is within the range and not too high or too low.
