Pressure Reducing Valve Replacement in Rochester, NY

A new service line can bring more pressure into the house than the old, scaled one did. That is good up to a point. Above 80 psi, faucets bang, toilet fill valves wear quickly, and new pipe joints take more stress than they should. The plumbing codes generally call for a pressure reducing valve when street pressure is higher than 80 psi.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Rochester, NY homeowners with plumbers who install and replace pressure reducing valves. The valve goes on the main line just after the shutoff, and it is usually set somewhere around 50 to 60 psi.

PRVs wear out. Signs include pressure that creeps up overnight, a relief valve on the water heater that drips, and a humming or chattering sound at the main. A gauge on a hose bib tells the story in a minute.

It makes sense to replace the PRV during a water line replacement or repipe. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Pressure Reducing Valve Replacement in Rochester, NY.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between water line replacement and whole house repiping?
Water line replacement covers the buried service pipe from the meter or curb stop to the house. Whole house repiping replaces the supply lines inside the walls. Older homes often need both because the pipes are the same age.
How long does a whole house repipe take?
Most occupied homes take two to five days, depending on size, number of bathrooms and access. Water is usually restored at the end of each work day.
How can I tell if I have polybutylene pipe?
Polybutylene is flexible gray or blue plastic, often stamped PB2110, found in many homes built from about 1978 to 1995. Check near the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house.
Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?
When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.
Do I need a permit for water line replacement?
Most cities require a plumbing permit for service line replacement and whole house repiping, plus an inspection before the trench is backfilled or walls are closed.
