The short answer

Water Pressure Explained

A pressure limiting valve reduces high incoming mains pressure to a safer level for your plumbing. High pressure can stress pipes, fittings and appliances and cause leaks or noisy plumbing. The Plumbing Gang’s licensed plumbers test your pressure, install or replace valves and adjust settings, with fixed-price options provided before any work starts.

Pressure problems?

Find the cause, fix the pressure

Low pressure can come from a faulty pressure limiting valve, a partly closed valve, corroded old pipes or a leak. Pressure that’s too high is a problem too, and can damage taps and appliances.

We test the pressure, find the cause and fix it, whether that’s a new valve or a section of pipe.

Reagan came out to our property today to assist with a gas tank leakage. He was super detailed and thorough with his work, going above and beyond to ensure we were sorted and happy with the service. He displayed patience when explaining what he was doing step by step and offered fantastic education around what he was doing and potential hazards to watch out for. Great worker to have under your wing plumbing gang! Definitely recommend their service for anyone out there looking for a trusted and reliable company.

FAQs

Water Pressure FAQs

High pressure usually comes from the mains supply, which can vary with your location. A pressure limiting valve brings it down at your property.

Yes, it can strain pipes, fittings and appliances and may contribute to leaks. Testing is the first step to confirm what you have.

No, a pressure limiting valve reduces pressure. If your pressure is low, we can investigate other causes such as blockages or supply issues.

It depends on access and your existing plumbing. We will explain what is involved when we provide your fixed-price options.

We are available 24/7, and urgent jobs are reached within 60 minutes where available.
