Pressure Regulating Valve

In many parts of Central Texas—especially in hill country neighborhoods like Lakeway, Spicewood, and Dripping Springs—water pressure can fluctuate dramatically. High water pressure might not seem like a bad thing, but over time it can cause serious damage to your plumbing system. That’s where a Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) comes in.

A Pressure Regulating Valve is a mechanical valve installed on your main water line that controls the pressure of incoming water. It helps maintain a safe, steady pressure throughout your home, protecting pipes, fixtures, and appliances from excessive wear.

Unlike in East Texas where municipal pressure tends to be more stable, Central Texas communities—especially those with hills and elevation changes—can experience spikes in water pressure that exceed safe limits. Over time, these pressure surges can:

• Damage fixtures and faucets
• Wear out toilet fill valves and supply lines
• Lead to leaks or pipe bursts
• Shorten the lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines

Without a PRV, your plumbing system is constantly under stress—even if everything seems to be working fine.

• Loud banging or “water hammer” sounds in pipes
• Faucets that spit or sputter
• Repeated fixture failures or leaks
• High water pressure readings (over 80 psi)

Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or simply want peace of mind, we can inspect your system and let you know if a PRV is recommended—or if your existing one is due for replacement.
