High water pressure might feel great in the shower—but it’s one of the leading causes of plumbing damage in Utah homes. When your water pressure is too high, it puts unnecessary stress on pipes, fixtures, and appliances, leading to leaks, noise, and costly repairs.
That’s where a PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) comes in.
At Monkey Wrench Plumbing, we provide expert PRV valve installation, repair, and replacement in West Jordan, UT. Whether you’re noticing pressure fluctuations, noisy pipes, or leaks around your home, our licensed plumbers can quickly diagnose the issue and restore your plumbing system to safe, steady pressure levels.
A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is a small but powerful device installed on your home’s main water line. It controls and stabilizes the incoming pressure from the city’s water supply—ensuring your home’s plumbing system operates safely and efficiently.
Most cities in Salt Lake County, including West Jordan, deliver water at 90–120 PSI. But residential plumbing systems are designed to handle around 60–70 PSI. Anything higher can cause long-term damage and waste.
Without a PRV, you risk:
Burst pipes or leaks
Appliance damage (dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters)
Banging or vibrating pipes (known as “water hammer”)
Higher water bills
Shortened lifespan of plumbing fixtures and valves
Installing or maintaining a PRV valve keeps your system balanced, protected, and efficient—saving you money and headaches.
PRV valves wear out over time, especially in older homes. Here are some telltale signs it’s time for inspection, repair, or replacement:
Sudden spikes or drops in water pressure
Banging or rattling noises in your pipes
Water constantly running in toilets
Leaking appliances or hose bibs
Increased water bills
Fluctuating pressure in showers or faucets
If you’re not sure whether your home has a PRV—or if it’s working correctly—our plumbers can perform a quick pressure test and give you an honest recommendation.
At Monkey Wrench Plumbing, we handle every aspect of PRV valve service—from initial inspection to full installation and calibration.
If your home doesn’t have a pressure-reducing valve, we’ll install one the right way:
Inspect your main water line and existing connections
Install a high-quality, code-compliant PRV
Test and calibrate your water pressure
Ensure local code compliance and city approval
Clean up and walk you through how it works
If your current PRV is still functional but not calibrated properly, we can adjust or repair it to restore steady, safe pressure levels.
Old or corroded valves often can’t be repaired effectively. We replace outdated PRVs with durable, efficient models built to last—keeping your plumbing protected for years to come.
High water pressure doesn’t just waste water—it quietly destroys your plumbing from the inside out. Over time, it can cause:
Stress cracks in copper and PVC pipes
Worn-out toilet fill valves and faucet cartridges
Shortened lifespan of dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters
Higher utility costs
In cities like West Jordan, where municipal water pressure can fluctuate throughout the day, a PRV valve is essential for keeping your plumbing system stable and efficient.
