Fix High Water Pressure Before It Destroys Your Plumbing.

Banging pipes, leaking faucets, and failing water heaters are often caused by water pressure that’s too high. Our TruTech-trained plumbers install and replace pressure regulating valves (PRVs) so your home’s plumbing stays safe, quiet, and code-compliant.

Pressure Regulating Valve Specialists

Stop High Water Pressure From Wrecking Your Home.

City water pressure can be 100–150 PSI or more. Your home’s plumbing system is only designed for about 50–75 PSI. Without a working pressure regulating valve, that extra force can cause leaks, noisy pipes, appliance failure, and even burst lines. Omaha Drain tests your water pressure, inspects your PRV, and installs a new valve if needed so your home is protected for the long haul.

Protect Pipes & Fixtures

High pressure stresses every connection and joint. A properly set PRV helps prevent pinhole leaks, drips, and premature fixture failure.

Extend Water Heater Life

Your water heater isn’t built for constant high pressure. Regulating pressure reduces wear on tanks, relief valves, and internal components.

Peace of Mind & Comfort

No more pipe banging, whistling, or “water hammer” when you turn fixtures on and off. Just smooth, steady water throughout your home.

Signs Your Pressure Regulating Valve May Be Failing.

You don’t have to guess if your PRV is doing its job. If you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s time to have a TruTech-trained plumber test your water pressure and inspect the valve.

Constantly Dripping Fixtures

Faucets, shower heads, and hose bibs that keep dripping after you shut them off often point to excessive pressure behind the scenes.

Toilets & Appliances Wearing Out

Running toilets, leaking supply lines, or frequent appliance failures (dishwasher, washer, icemaker) can all be triggered by high water pressure.

Banging or Whistling Pipes

Loud “water hammer” when you turn fixtures on or off, or pipes that rattle and whistle, usually mean pressure or flow is out of balance.

Short Water Heater Lifespan

If you’ve gone through more than one water heater faster than expected, high system pressure could be a major culprit.

Visible PRV Corrosion or Leaks

Rust, corrosion, or moisture around the valve itself is a clear sign your PRV is failing and needs to be replaced before it lets go.

Pressure Changes in the Shower

Pressure that surges or drops dramatically while you’re showering may mean the PRV is sticking or no longer modulating pressure as designed.

How Our PRV Installation & Replacement Process Works.

We treat every pressure regulating valve job like we’re working on our own homes. You’ll know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what it costs before any work begins.

1. Pressure Test & System Inspection

  • We measure incoming water pressure at accessible locations to see where you’re at today.
  • We visually inspect the existing PRV, main shutoff, and nearby piping for leaks or corrosion.
  • We check for obvious signs of high pressure damage around your home (fixtures, piping, and appliances).

2. Options, Upfront Pricing & Replacement

  • We review your options: adjust an existing valve (when possible) or replace with a new, code-compliant PRV.
  • You approve the price before we start — no trip charge when you move forward with our work.
  • We install the new valve, set it to the proper pressure range, and slowly bring the system back online.

3. Final Testing & Walkthrough

  • We re-test water pressure after the PRV is installed and fine-tune settings as needed.
  • We confirm fixtures are operating smoothly and that banging or surging pressure has been eliminated.
  • We walk you through what we did, where the valve is located, and how to reach us if you ever have questions.

4. Clean-Up & Peace of Mind

  • Boot covers, drop cloths, and a “no mess left behind” mindset keep your home clean.
  • We label valves and leave you with clear documentation of the work performed.
  • Our workmanship guarantee means if there’s a problem with our install, we make it right.

PRV Questions

Pressure Regulating Valve FAQs.

A quick overview of what most Omaha homeowners want to know about water pressure and PRVs.

What does a pressure regulating valve actually do?

A pressure regulating valve (PRV) reduces high incoming city water pressure down to a safe, consistent level for your home. It protects pipes, fixtures, and appliances from excess force and helps prevent leaks, bursts, and premature equipment failure.

How do I know if my home even has a PRV?

Many homes have a PRV installed near where the main water line enters the house, often close to the main shutoff and water meter. If you’re not sure, we can quickly identify the valve (if present), test your pressure, and let you know whether you’re protected or not.

Can you just adjust my existing PRV instead of replacing it?

Sometimes, yes. If the valve is in good shape and only needs an adjustment, we can dial it in to the proper pressure range. However, if the valve is old, leaking, corroded, or sticking, replacement is usually the safest long-term option.

How long does a PRV replacement usually take?

Most PRV installations and replacements can be completed in a single visit, often within a few hours once we’re on site. We’ll give you a clear time estimate after we’ve inspected your system.

Do you offer financing or multiple options?

Yes. We walk you through repair vs. replace options and pricing upfront. For larger plumbing work that may go along with a PRV replacement, we can also discuss financing options so you can protect your home without delaying needed repairs.
