Your water pressure should work for you, not against you. When it’s properly regulated between 40-60 psi, your dishwasher fills faster, your shower has consistent flow, and your pipes stop making those annoying banging sounds.
More importantly, you’re not replacing expensive appliances every few years or dealing with surprise leaks that flood your floors. Proper water pressure regulation extends the life of everything connected to your plumbing system.
That means fewer emergency calls, lower water bills, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home’s plumbing is protected from the damage that high or fluctuating pressure causes.
We’ve been protecting homes in Regency Park and the greater Sacramento area since 2009, with over 24 years of combined experience in residential and commercial plumbing. We’re a family-owned, licensed, and insured company with a 5-star reputation built on doing the work right the first time.
We understand that Regency Park homes, many built in the early 2000s, face unique water pressure challenges due to the area’s municipal water system and newer plumbing infrastructure. Your home represents a significant investment—with median values around $526,500 in the area—and protecting that investment means ensuring your plumbing system operates at optimal pressure levels.
When you call us, you’re getting transparent pricing, professional service, and the kind of reliability that has earned us a 4.7/5 Google rating from 93+ reviews.
First, we test your current water pressure using a professional gauge at multiple points in your home. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and whether your pressure regulator needs adjustment, repair, or replacement.
If installation is needed, we locate the main water line just after the shut-off valve—that’s where the pressure regulator does its job. We shut off your water supply, install the new regulator, and calibrate it to maintain safe pressure levels throughout your home.
Before we leave, we test the system thoroughly, check for leaks, and make sure you understand how the regulator works. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you’ll notice the difference immediately—steady pressure, quieter pipes, and appliances that work the way they should.

Every water pressure regulator service includes pressure testing, system inspection, and a clear explanation of what we find. We don’t just fix the immediate problem—we look for the underlying issues that could cause future headaches.
For Regency Park homeowners, this is especially important. The area’s newer construction and higher property values mean you’re dealing with modern appliances and fixtures that are sensitive to pressure fluctuations. We calibrate your regulator specifically for your home’s needs.
Our service covers installation of new regulators, repair of existing units, and replacement of worn components like O-rings and washers. We also provide ongoing maintenance recommendations to help your regulator reach its full 10-15 year lifespan. All work comes with transparent pricing—no surprises, no hidden fees, and often costs less than our initial estimate.
The most obvious signs are fluctuating water pressure throughout your home and noisy pipes that bang or hammer when you turn faucets on and off. You might also notice that your toilet keeps running, faucets leak more frequently, or your dishwasher and washing machine take much longer to fill than they used to.
Another telltale sign is when you can’t use more than one water fixture at a time without losing pressure. If your shower turns into a trickle when someone starts the dishwasher, your regulator isn’t doing its job.
High water bills can also indicate pressure problems—when your system is working too hard, it wastes water. Most regulators last 10-15 years, so if yours is in that range and showing these symptoms, replacement is usually the most cost-effective solution.
The ideal water pressure for residential homes is between 40-60 psi, with most regulators set around 50 psi. This gives you strong, consistent flow without putting excessive stress on your pipes, fixtures, and appliances.
Pressure above 80 psi is considered dangerous and will cause premature wear on everything in your plumbing system. Pressure below 30 psi makes daily activities frustrating and indicates either a municipal supply issue or a regulator that’s restricting flow too much.
In Regency Park, municipal water pressure can vary significantly depending on your location relative to water mains and elevation changes. We test your specific situation and set your regulator to the optimal pressure for your home’s needs and your family’s usage patterns.
While water pressure regulators have adjustment screws that can be turned, we strongly recommend having a licensed plumber handle any adjustments. The regulator is installed at your main water line, and incorrect adjustment can cause serious problems throughout your entire plumbing system.
If you turn the pressure too high, you risk damaging pipes, fixtures, and appliances. Set it too low, and you’ll have inadequate flow for normal activities. There’s also the risk of creating leaks at the regulator itself if it’s not properly assembled after adjustment.
Professional adjustment includes pressure testing at multiple points, checking for leaks, and ensuring the regulator is calibrated correctly for your home’s specific needs. The cost of professional service is minimal compared to the potential damage from incorrect DIY adjustment.
The cost depends on several factors including the type of regulator needed, accessibility of your main water line, and whether any additional plumbing modifications are required. Most residential installations range from a few hundred to around a thousand dollars for complete replacement.
We always provide free estimates and transparent pricing before starting any work. Our estimates include the regulator, installation labor, testing, and any necessary fittings or modifications. Many customers are surprised to find our final bill comes in lower than the original estimate.
When you consider that a quality regulator lasts 10-15 years and prevents thousands of dollars in potential damage to appliances and plumbing fixtures, it’s one of the most cost-effective investments you can make in your home’s plumbing system.
A failed regulator typically means you’re getting full municipal water pressure directly into your home, which can be 100+ psi in some areas. This will cause immediate problems like toilet tanks that won’t stop filling, faucets that spray aggressively, and loud banging in your pipes.
More seriously, high pressure puts extreme stress on pipe joints, appliance connections, and fixture valves. You’ll likely start seeing leaks within days or weeks, and appliances like dishwashers and water heaters can suffer permanent damage from overpressure.
If you suspect regulator failure, turn off your main water supply and call for emergency service immediately. We offer 24/7 emergency repairs for situations like this because waiting can turn a regulator replacement into a major plumbing disaster with extensive water damage.
We recommend having your water pressure regulator inspected annually as part of your home’s routine plumbing maintenance. During these inspections, we test pressure levels, check for leaks, and examine the regulator’s internal components for wear.
Most regulators don’t need frequent adjustment once properly installed, but Sacramento’s mineral-rich water can cause calcium buildup that affects performance over time. Regular inspection catches these issues before they cause pressure problems or component failure.
If your regulator is approaching the 10-year mark, more frequent inspections help determine the optimal time for replacement. It’s much better to replace a regulator on your schedule than to deal with an emergency failure that could damage your entire plumbing system and require costly repairs.
