How do I maintain my new pressure regulator?
Pressure regulators generally require very little maintenance, but it is wise to have a professional check your home's water pressure during your annual plumbing inspection. This ensures the internal spring and diaphragm are still providing an accurate and steady flow to your fixtures.
Why is professional pressure regulator installation better than DIY?
Installing a regulator involves cutting into your main water supply line, which requires precise soldering or fitting skills to prevent a total home flood. A professional ensures the valve is installed in the correct direction and calibrated to the specific safety needs of your appliances.
Is the installation process messy?
The installation is usually contained to the area where your main water line enters the home. We use professional containment and cleanup practices to ensure that any moisture or debris is thoroughly managed, leaving your property in excellent condition.
How does a pressure regulator provide value?
A regulator provides immense value by extending the lifespan of your water heater, faucets, and toilets by years. It also helps prevent high-pressure bursts that lead to massive insurance claims, making it one of the most cost-effective preventative measures you can take.
What logistics are involved in a regulator install?
The process involves a temporary whole-home water shut-off while the main line is modified to accommodate the new valve. Our team manages these logistics efficiently to ensure your water service is restored quickly and safely.
