Water pressure regulator repair and replacement in redlands, ca

Does your shower pressure change when someone turns on a faucet?  Do your pipes bang, or does water come out of the tap harder than it used to?  Your home's water pressure regulator may need attention.  Flow-Pro Plumbing, Inc. helps Redlands homeowners and businesses find the cause of pressure problems and make the right repair.


A water pressure regulator, also called a pressure reducing valve, controls the pressure of water entering your plumbing system.  When it wears out or stops working properly, you might notice pressure that is too high, too low, or inconsistent.  High pressure can put extra strain on fixtures, supply lines, appliances, and your water heater.  Low pressure can make everyday tasks frustrating.  Because several plumbing problems can cause similar symptoms, we check the pressure and inspect the system before recommending a solution.





Signs Your Water Pressure Regulator May Need Service

Your regulator May need inspection if you notice:


  • Water Pressure that suddenly feels much stronger or weaker.
  • Pressure that changes throughout the day or when another fixture is running.
  • Banging or rattling pipes.
  • Faucets that splash excessively.
  • Leaks appearing at fixtures or supply connections.


These signs do not always mean the regulator has failed.  A partially closed valve, a leak, or a problem at one fixture can also affect how water flows.  If the issue is limited to one sink or shower, we can help track it down.  If pressure seems off throughout the property, the regulator is one of the components we'll check.

Repair or Replace

The right fix depends on what we find.  Some pressure issues can be resolved with an adjustment or a repair to another part of the plumbing system.  If the regulator is worn, leaking, or unable to hold a consistent setting, replacement may be the better choice.  We'll explain what we found, walk you through the options, and answer your questions before work begins. 


After installing a new regulator, we set and check the pressure so you know how the system is performing.  We also look for related concerns that could affect the result.  Our goal is to solve the pressure problem, not sell you work you don't need.

Frequently Asked Question

How do I know if my water pressure regulator is bad?


The most useful clue is a pressure reading, along with an inspection of the regulator and the rest of the plumbing system.  Changes in pressure, noisy pipes, or new leaks are reasons to schedule a check, but symptoms alone cannot confirm that the regulator is the cause.
