Two Small Devices That Do a Big Job
Most people never think about the pressure reducing valve or the backflow preventer on their property until something goes wrong. Both protect you every day.
A pressure reducing valve, or PRV, keeps the water coming into your home or building at a safe, steady pressure. When a PRV fails or was never installed, high pressure strains every pipe, fitting, fixture, and appliance you own.
A backflow prevention device keeps used or contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply. Many commercial properties, irrigation systems, and fire sprinkler systems are required to have one and to have it tested every year.
We install, test, and repair both, so your plumbing stays protected and your property stays in compliance.
Signs Your Water Pressure Is Too High
- Pipes that bang or hammer when a faucet or appliance shuts off.
- Toilets that run or refill on their own.
- Dripping faucets and leaking fixtures that keep coming back.
- A water heater relief valve that drips.
- Water heaters, washing machines, and other appliances that wear out early.

Water Pressure in Our Area
Many neighborhoods here are built on hillsides, and water pressure can vary a lot from one street to the next. Homes in lower areas can see pressure well above what household plumbing is designed to handle, which is why a working PRV matters.
Our mineral-heavy water adds wear too. Scale can build up inside a PRV over time and keep it from regulating pressure the way it should. If your pressure has changed suddenly, or your fixtures have started leaking all at once, have the valve checked.
For businesses, irrigation systems, and properties with fire sprinklers, your water provider will usually send a notice when your annual backflow test is due. We can take care of the test and the paperwork.

How much does backflow testing or PRV replacement cost?
Every plumbing job is different, so the price depends on the problem, the parts, and the work involved. We diagnose the problem, explain it clearly, and confirm an upfront repair price before we start.
What is backflow, and why does it matter?
Backflow happens when water flows the wrong way, from your property back into the public water supply. A pressure drop in the city line can pull water from an irrigation system, a boiler, or other equipment back into the drinking water. A backflow prevention device stops that from happening.
Who needs annual backflow testing?
Commercial properties, irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, and some homes are commonly required to have a backflow device tested every year. Your water provider sets the requirement and will usually let you know when a test is due.
What is a safe water pressure for a home?
Most homes work well somewhere between 40 and 80 psi. Many plumbing codes call for a pressure reducing valve when incoming pressure is above 80 psi. We can test your pressure and tell you where you stand.
How do I know if my pressure reducing valve is failing?
Watch for a sudden change in water pressure, banging pipes, running toilets, or several fixtures starting to leak at the same time. A pressure test shows whether the valve is still doing its job.
Do you provide the paperwork for my backflow test?
Yes. We provide the documentation, including municipal certification paperwork, confirming your system meets local code.
