Pressure Regulator and Backflow
A pressure regulator ensures the water entering your home, pool, or irrigation system stays within safe operating levels. Located near the main house valve and hose bib, this device helps maintain consistent water pressure—typically 55–65 PSI—to protect your plumbing system and fixtures. When a regulator fails or isn’t installed, excess pressure can lead to leaks, increased water usage, and costly damage to cabinets, drywall, flooring, and more.
Low pressure can also signal a problem. While clogged faucet aerators may cause isolated low flow, whole-home low pressure often indicates a failing regulator. If you’re unsure whether you have a pressure regulator or are experiencing pressure fluctuations, the experts at Van Rooy Plumbing can help. We provide accurate pressure testing and recommendations to keep your plumbing system functioning efficiently.

Water pressure plays a vital role in the performance and lifespan of your plumbing system. A pressure regulator—typically installed outside the home near the main shut-off valve—helps keep incoming water pressure at a safe, consistent level (usually 55–65 PSI). This protects your pipes, fixtures, water heater, and irrigation system from excessive force while ensuring smooth, reliable flow throughout your property.
When a pressure regulator begins to fail, the signs can show up quickly. High pressure may lead to burst pipes, slab leaks, running toilets, and unusually strong flow at faucets or hose bibs. These issues often lead to costly damage to cabinets, drywall, flooring, and baseboards. Low pressure, on the other hand, may cause weak shower flow or inconsistent water supply throughout the home. While isolated low pressure may come from clogged faucet aerators, whole-home pressure issues typically indicate a regulator problem that needs professional attention.
If you're experiencing fluctuating pressure, higher-than-normal water volume, or unexpectedly rising water bills, our team at Van Rooy Plumbing can help. We provide accurate water pressure testing and expert regulator repair or replacement to restore consistent performance and protect your plumbing system long-term.
