You won’t have to worry about burst pipes anymore. No more replacing expensive appliances every few years because high water pressure wore them out. No more water hammer banging through your walls at night.
When your water pressure regulator is working properly, your dishwasher lasts longer. Your washing machine doesn’t break down. Your water heater operates efficiently for years instead of months.
Most North Sacramento homes get hit with 90 to 110 psi straight from the city lines. Your plumbing was designed for 40 to 60 psi. That extra pressure is quietly destroying everything it touches, and most homeowners don’t realize it until the damage is done.
Murray Plumbing has been protecting North Sacramento homes from water pressure problems since 2009. We understand exactly what happens when Sacramento’s aggressive municipal water pressure meets your home’s plumbing.
We’ve seen the burst pipes in Arden-Arcade. The failed water heaters in Carmichael. The destroyed appliances throughout the greater Sacramento area. This isn’t theoretical for us.
As a family-owned business with over two decades of experience, we keep overhead low and pass those savings to customers. We’re BBB accredited, maintain a 5-star reputation, and offer free estimates because we know our work speaks for itself.
First, we test your current water pressure using professional gauges. Most North Sacramento homes show readings well above the safe 60 psi range. We’ll show you exactly what your system is dealing with.
Next, we locate the optimal installation point on your main water line, typically just after your shut-off valve. The water gets turned off, the old system gets evaluated, and the new pressure regulator gets installed with proper fittings and connections.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly. Water gets turned back on gradually, pressure gets measured at multiple points, and we make sure your new regulator maintains that steady 45 to 60 psi range your plumbing was designed for. You’ll notice the difference immediately.

Murray Plumbing handles water pressure regulator installation, repair, and replacement throughout North Sacramento. We work with all major brands and can source the right regulator for your home’s specific needs and water pressure challenges.
Sacramento’s unique water infrastructure means different neighborhoods face different pressure issues. Homes near Arden-Arcade often deal with fluctuating pressure. Properties in Rio Linda might see consistently high pressure from elevated water towers. We know these local patterns.
Our service includes pressure testing, regulator selection, professional installation, system testing, and follow-up support. We also offer a 15% discount for new customers and provide free estimates, so you know exactly what you’re investing in before any work begins.
You’ll usually notice signs before serious damage occurs. Listen for banging or clunking sounds in your pipes, especially when you turn off faucets or appliances. This “water hammer” effect happens when high pressure creates surge waves through your plumbing.
Check your appliances too. If your dishwasher, washing machine, or water heater seems to need repairs more often than expected, high water pressure might be the culprit. Most Sacramento homes receive 90 to 110 psi from municipal lines, but your plumbing works best at 40 to 60 psi.
You can also test pressure yourself with a gauge from any hardware store, but we offer free estimates that include professional pressure testing throughout your home.
Most North Sacramento homeowners invest between $300 and $650 for complete water pressure regulator installation, including the device and professional installation. The exact cost depends on your home’s plumbing setup, the type of regulator needed, and any additional work required.
We provide free estimates so you know the exact investment before any work begins. As a family-owned business with low overhead, we often come in below what larger companies charge. We’ve had customers mention their final costs were less than the original estimate.
Keep in mind that a quality pressure regulator installation can save you thousands in prevented damage to pipes, appliances, and fixtures over the years.
Most water pressure regulators last 10 to 15 years with proper installation and normal use. However, Sacramento’s specific water conditions can affect lifespan. Hard water, high mineral content, and fluctuating municipal pressure can cause regulators to wear out faster.
Signs your regulator needs replacement include inconsistent water pressure throughout your home, return of water hammer sounds, or appliances starting to show stress from pressure variations. We recommend annual pressure testing to catch problems early.
When regulators do fail, replacement is usually straightforward if the original installation was done properly. We warranty our installation work and can service regulators we’ve installed for years to come.
Absolutely, and it happens more often than most homeowners realize. High water pressure puts constant stress on every joint, fitting, and appliance connection in your plumbing system. Over time, this stress causes leaks, bursts, and premature appliance failure.
In North Sacramento, municipal water pressure often reaches 90 to 110 psi to ensure adequate pressure for homes at higher elevations. But your dishwasher, washing machine, and water heater were designed for 40 to 60 psi maximum. That extra pressure shortens their lifespan significantly.
We’ve seen water heaters fail in just a few years instead of lasting a decade, washing machine hoses burst and flood homes, and dishwashers develop leaks that damage kitchen cabinets. A pressure regulator prevents all of this.
Sometimes a malfunctioning pressure regulator just needs adjustment or minor repair, especially if it’s relatively new. We can often adjust the pressure setting or replace small internal components to restore proper function.
However, most failing regulators need complete replacement. After 10 to 15 years of service, internal components wear out and adjustment won’t solve the problem. Replacement ensures reliable pressure control for another decade or more.
We evaluate each situation individually. If repair makes sense and will provide lasting results, we’ll recommend that option. If replacement is the better long-term solution, we’ll explain why and provide a clear estimate for the work.
We have over 24 years of experience specifically with Sacramento-area water pressure issues. We understand how municipal water systems work in different North Sacramento neighborhoods and know which regulators perform best in local conditions.
As a family-owned, BBB-accredited business, we maintain a 5-star reputation through transparent pricing and quality work. We offer free estimates, a 15% new customer discount, and warranty our installations. Many customers mention their final costs were less than originally quoted.
Most importantly, we respond quickly when you need service. Water pressure problems can cause expensive damage fast, so having a local plumber who knows your area and can respond promptly makes a real difference in protecting your home.
