While high water pressure may seem like a good thing, it can actually cause damage to your plumbing system and appliances. Here are some dangers of having high water pressure:
Burst pipes: High water pressure can cause pipes to burst, leading to costly repairs and potential water damage to your home.
Leaking faucets and toilets: Constant high water pressure can cause damage to the washers and gaskets in faucets and toilets, leading to leaks and wasted water.
Damaged appliances: High water pressure can cause damage to appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters, shortening their lifespan and requiring costly repairs.
Increased water bills: If your water pressure is too high, you may be using more water than you realize, resulting in higher water bills.
Risk of injury: High water pressure can also cause injuries, such as scalds from hot water or slips and falls from excess water on surfaces.
To prevent these dangers, it’s important to monitor your home’s water pressure and take steps to lower it if necessary. A licensed plumber can help you determine the right pressure for your home and install a pressure regulator to control it.
