PRV Valve Installation & Repair in Salt Lake City, UT
At Monkey Wrench Plumbing, we know that strong water pressure feels great—until it starts wreaking havoc on your pipes and fixtures. If your pressure is too high, you’re not just putting your plumbing at risk—you could be setting yourself up for costly damage and early system failure. That’s where a PRV valve (Pressure Reducing Valve) comes in.
We provide PRV valve installation, repair, and replacement services for homes and businesses across Salt Lake City and surrounding areas. Whether you’re dealing with inconsistent pressure, leaking appliances, or frequent pipe noise, our team is here to help you regulate water pressure the right way—safely and reliably.
What Is a PRV Valve and Why Do You Need One?
A PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) is a specialized plumbing valve designed to control and stabilize the incoming water pressure from the municipal line into your home. Most cities deliver water to homes at a higher pressure than residential systems are designed to handle—sometimes upwards of 100 psi (pounds per square inch). But your home’s plumbing systems typically function best at around 60–70 psi.
When the pressure is too high, you risk:
Burst pipes
Appliance damage (especially dishwashers and washing machines)
Leaky faucets and toilets
Noisy or banging pipes (known as “water hammer”)
Premature wear on water heaters and fixtures
Installing a PRV keeps your plumbing system protected and helps extend the life of your pipes, appliances, and fixtures.
Signs You May Need a New PRV Valve
PRV valves are often installed by builders during original construction—but like any mechanical part, they can wear out or fail over time. If your home already has a PRV valve, it might be time to inspect or replace it if you notice:
Sudden changes in water pressure
Banging or vibrating pipes
Water constantly running in toilets
Appliance leaks or failures
Leaky hose bibs or fixtures
Higher-than-usual water bills
If you’re not sure whether your home has a PRV valve—or if it’s functioning correctly—our team can evaluate your system and give honest, no-pressure recommendations.
Our PRV Valve Services in Salt Lake City
Monkey Wrench Plumbing provides comprehensive PRV valve services to protect your home’s plumbing and deliver consistent water pressure.
PRV Valve Installation
If your home was built before modern plumbing codes or never had a PRV installed, we’ll handle the entire installation from start to finish. This includes:
Inspecting your existing system
Installing the PRV on your main water line
Testing and calibrating water pressure
Ensuring city code compliance
Clean-up and walkthrough
We use high-quality, code-approved PRVs from trusted brands for maximum longevity and performance.
PRV Valve Repair & Adjustment
Already have a PRV but something seems off? If the valve is salvageable, we can repair or recalibrate it to restore proper water pressure and save you from premature replacement.
PRV Valve Replacement
If your current PRV is failing or outdated, we’ll replace it with a modern, high-efficiency model. Older valves can become clogged with sediment or corroded internally, which makes repairs impractical. A quick replacement ensures safe, reliable water pressure throughout your home.
How Water Pressure Affects Your Plumbing
High water pressure might feel great in the shower—but over time, it’s one of the biggest threats to your plumbing system. It puts unnecessary strain on:
Water heaters
Dishwashers
Washing machines
Ice makers
Faucet cartridges
Toilet fill valves
Plus, you’ll waste more water—and more money. If you’re in a city like Salt Lake, Sandy, or Lehi, municipal water pressure can fluctuate daily. A PRV valve evens that out to keep everything running smoothly.
