Think High Water Pressure Is a Good Thing? Think Again…
Strong water pressure may feel great in the shower, but if your home’s pressure is too high, it could be silently damaging your plumbing system every day.
⚠️ High water pressure can cause:
• Leaking faucets and fixtures
• Burst supply lines and pipes
• Water heater damage
• Running toilets and wasted water
• Increased water bills
• Premature wear on appliances like dishwashers and washing machines
Most homes should have water pressure between 40-80 PSI. Anything above that can put unnecessary stress on your plumbing system and lead to costly repairs.
Don’t wait for a leak to tell you there’s a problem. A simple pressure test can help identify issues before they turn into plumbing emergencies.
