What happens when the water pressure is too high?
When the water pressure is above its recommended pressure range either for residential or for commercial purposes, some malfunctions may occur:
- May lead to leaky faucets.
- May cause water heater damage.
- There can be some slab leaks.
- To some extent, even the shower valves start leaking.
Rescue Plumbers would recommend an installation of a pressure reducing valve that will aid in reducing pressure.
What causes water pressure to fluctuate?
Over time you may notice that sometimes your pressure is high while other times it is low. As experts in this field we have highlighted some of the causes of pressure fluctuation as below;
- Having air trapped in your pipes.
- Malfunction of the pressure regulating valves.
- Having clogged or worn-out pipes.
- In some cases, if there is a pipe burst on the main supply Chanel in your neighbourhood, you may experience fluctuating pressure. When your water supplier e.g. the municipal is affected by leaks or clogs, your home will most likely be affected too.
What should you watch out for regarding high pressure?
To detect high water pressure either at home or in your commercial residence, we have listed down a few triggers to look out for. They are;
- When a dishwasher or a washing machine is turned either on or off, you will hear a rattling or a hissing sound from the pipes.
