When your water pressure regulator works right, you stop worrying about surprise leaks and expensive repairs. Your faucets quit dripping. Your pipes stop banging when you turn off the dishwasher. Your water heater warranty stays valid.
You’ll notice lower water bills because you’re not wasting gallons through high-pressure leaks you didn’t even know existed. Your washing machine and dishwasher will run better and last years longer when they’re not fighting against excessive pressure.
Most importantly, you get consistent, comfortable water pressure throughout your home without the stress of wondering what’s going to break next.
We’ve been solving water pressure issues in Granite Bay for years. We know this area gets hit with 90-110 PSI straight from the municipal line—way more than your plumbing was designed to handle.
We’ve seen what happens when homeowners ignore pressure problems or try to fix them themselves. That’s why we focus on getting it right the first time, with transparent pricing and no surprises.
Our 4.7/5 Google rating comes from customers who appreciate that we show up when we say we will, explain what’s actually wrong, and fix it without the runaround.
First, we test your current water pressure to see what we’re dealing with. Most Granite Bay homes are getting 90+ PSI when they should be at 50-60 PSI.
We locate the best spot for your pressure regulator—usually where your main water line enters the house, after the shut-off valve. We shut off your water supply, cut the pipe, and install the new regulator with proper fittings.
Once everything’s connected, we turn your water back on and test the system to make sure you’re getting consistent, safe pressure. We adjust the regulator to the right PSI for your home and test all your fixtures to confirm everything’s working properly.
The whole process usually takes a few hours, and you’ll have reliable water pressure that protects your plumbing for years to come.

You get a properly sized pressure regulator that’s built to handle Granite Bay’s specific water pressure challenges. We use quality brass and bronze regulators that last 10-12 years, not the cheap aluminum ones that fail in a few years.
Your installation includes pressure testing, proper adjustment, and a full system check to make sure everything works right. We explain how to monitor your pressure and what to watch for so you can catch problems early.
In Granite Bay, we see a lot of homes where the original builder installed cheap regulators or skipped them entirely. We fix these problems with regulators that actually protect your plumbing and keep your water pressure consistent throughout the house.
You’ll usually notice banging pipes when you turn off faucets or appliances—that’s called water hammer and it’s a clear sign your pressure is too high. Recurring leaks in faucets, toilets, or pipes are another red flag.
If your water pressure feels inconsistent or too aggressive, or if you’re getting multiple plumbing problems in a short time, your regulator is probably failing. You can test your pressure yourself with a simple gauge from the hardware store—anything over 80 PSI means you need professional help.
Many Granite Bay homeowners don’t realize they have a problem until their water heater starts acting up or they get a major leak. Don’t wait that long.
Most installations in the Granite Bay area run between $300-650, depending on your specific setup and the type of regulator you need. The cost includes the regulator itself, professional installation, pressure testing, and proper adjustment.
If your current plumbing needs modifications to accommodate the regulator, that can add to the cost. But most homes have straightforward installations that take a few hours to complete.
We give you upfront pricing before we start any work, so there are no surprises. Many customers find the cost pays for itself quickly through lower water bills and fewer plumbing repairs.
Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. Installing a pressure regulator requires cutting into your main water line, which means if something goes wrong, you could flood your house or be without water for days.
You also need to size the regulator correctly for your home’s water usage and set it to the right pressure. Get it wrong and you’ll either have low pressure throughout the house or continue having high pressure problems.
The installation needs to meet California plumbing code requirements, and most insurance companies won’t cover damage from DIY plumbing work. For the relatively small cost of professional installation, it’s not worth the risk.
Quality pressure regulators typically last 10-12 years with minimal maintenance. The lifespan depends on your water quality, how often the pressure fluctuates, and the quality of the regulator itself.
Cheap aluminum or plastic regulators might only last 4-6 years, while brass and bronze units can go 15 years or more. We recommend having your regulator checked annually to catch any issues early.
Signs it’s time for replacement include inconsistent pressure, visible corrosion on the unit, or recurring high-pressure problems even after adjustment. Don’t wait until it fails completely—that’s when you get the expensive damage.
Granite Bay gets its water from the Sacramento area municipal system, which delivers water at 90-110 PSI or higher to ensure adequate pressure reaches homes at different elevations. That’s nearly double what your plumbing fixtures and appliances are designed to handle.
The high pressure is necessary for the water system to work across the region, but it’s too much for individual homes. That’s why California plumbing code requires pressure regulators when the incoming pressure exceeds 80 PSI.
Without a regulator, you’re essentially forcing your plumbing to handle commercial-grade pressure levels every day. That’s why so many Granite Bay homes experience premature fixture failures and recurring leaks.
High water pressure will slowly destroy your plumbing system. You’ll start seeing recurring leaks in faucets and toilets, banging pipes, and premature failure of appliances like washing machines and dishwashers.
Your water heater is especially vulnerable—pressure over 80 PSI voids most manufacturer warranties, and high pressure causes the relief valve to malfunction and internal components to wear out faster.
You’ll also waste a lot of water and money. High pressure pushes more water through your fixtures than necessary, driving up your water bill. The constant stress on your plumbing means more frequent repairs and earlier replacement of pipes and fixtures.
