Signs your pressure reducing valve may need replacement

High water pressure

Strong pressure that causes banging pipes or aggressive flow at fixtures.

Low water pressure

A failing PRV can restrict flow and reduce pressure throughout the home.

Fluctuating pressure

Pressure that changes while fixtures are in use often points to PRV failure.

Leaking at the valve

Moisture or corrosion around the PRV body can indicate internal wear.

Short fixture lifespan

Frequent faucet, toilet, or appliance failures can be caused by excessive pressure.

Noisy plumbing

Banging or hammering noises can result from uncontrolled pressure.

Why pressure reducing valves fail

PRVs wear out over time due to mineral buildup, internal spring fatigue, and constant pressure changes from the municipal supply. In West Vancouver, higher incoming water pressure makes PRVs especially important for protecting residential plumbing systems.

When a PRV fails, it may stick open or closed, leading to unsafe pressure or poor performance throughout the home.
