Pressure Reducing Valve Replacement in Houston, TX

A new service line can bring more pressure into the house than the old, scaled one did. That is good up to a point. Above 80 psi, faucets bang, toilet fill valves wear quickly, and new pipe joints take more stress than they should. The plumbing codes generally call for a pressure reducing valve when street pressure is higher than 80 psi.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Houston, TX homeowners with plumbers who install and replace pressure reducing valves. The valve goes on the main line just after the shutoff, and it is usually set somewhere around 50 to 60 psi.

PRVs wear out. Signs include pressure that creeps up overnight, a relief valve on the water heater that drips, and a humming or chattering sound at the main. A gauge on a hose bib tells the story in a minute.

It makes sense to replace the PRV during a water line replacement or repipe. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Pressure Reducing Valve Replacement in Houston, TX.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between water line replacement and whole house repiping?
Water line replacement covers the buried service pipe from the meter or curb stop to the house. Whole house repiping replaces the supply lines inside the walls. Older homes often need both because the pipes are the same age.
Can a water line be replaced without digging up my yard?
Often, yes. Trenchless pipe bursting uses two small pits, one near the meter and one near the house, and pulls new HDPE through the old path. It works best on fairly straight runs.
How deep is a water service line buried?
It has to sit below the local frost line. That can be 12 inches in warm southern areas and 5 feet or more in the northern states. Your local code sets the exact depth.
Who owns the water line between the street and my house?
In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.
Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?
When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.
