Low or high water pressure? Holloway Plumbing restores perfect flow with expert water pressure plumbing repair services in Kerrville, Boerne, and Fredericksburg.

Water Pressure Plumbing – We Get Your Flow Just Right

Is your morning shower more of a trickle than a refreshing spray? Do your faucets take forever to fill a pot? Or do you hear banging noises in your walls when a toilet flushes? These are all common symptoms of water pressure problems—an issue that can range from a daily annoyance to a serious threat to your home’s plumbing system.

For homeowners throughout Texas Hill Country, inconsistent water pressure is a frequent complaint. Whether it’s too low, too high, or fluctuates wildly, Holloway Plumbing has the expertise to diagnose the root cause and provide lasting water pressure plumbing solutions. We specialize in the installation, repair, replacement, and testing of the components needed to deliver safe, consistent, and reliable water pressure to every fixture in your home.

What Causes Our Hill Country Water Pressure Problems?

Your home’s water pressure can be affected by a variety of factors, many of which are common in our area:

  • Scale Buildup: Hard water minerals can clog pipes and fixtures over time, restricting flow and causing low pressure.
  • Aging Supply Lines: Old, corroded galvanized pipes can become so restricted that they can no longer supply adequate water volume.
  • Failed PRV: The pressure reducing valve (PRV) that steps down high municipal pressure can fail, causing pressure to become too high or too low.
  • Municipal Pressure Spikes: Your local water utility can have fluctuations that send damagingly high pressure into your home.
  • Thermal Expansion: When your water heater runs, it can create excess pressure that has nowhere to go, stressing your entire system.

Holloway’s Expert Diagnostic and Installation Process

At Holloway Plumbing, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we find the source of the problem. Our licensed plumbers use a systematic approach to diagnose your water pressure issues, including whole-home pressure testing, fixture isolation, and PRV evaluation.

Once we identify the cause, we focus on providing a permanent, installation-based solution. Our water pressure plumbing services might include:

  • PRV Installation and Replacement: A properly installed and calibrated pressure reducing valve is your home’s first line of defense against high pressure. We can install a new, high-quality PRV or replace a failing one to protect your pipes, fixtures, and appliances.
  • Expansion Tank Installation: To safely absorb the pressure created by thermal expansion from your water heater, we can install or replace a thermal expansion tank, a critical safety component.
  • Repiping and Line Upsizing: For homes with old, undersized, or corroded pipes, we offer targeted repiping to restore proper flow and pressure.
  • Filtration and Valve Installation: Sometimes the fix is as simple as installing a point-of-entry sediment filter to prevent clogs or replacing a partially closed main shutoff valve.

By installing the right equipment, we deliver clear benefits: consistent shower pressure, faster-filling sinks, protection for your expensive appliances, and a longer life for your entire plumbing system. These solutions also contribute to your home’s Water Conservation efforts by preventing leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions — Local Water Pressure Plumbing Problems

What is the ideal water pressure for a home?

Most residential plumbing systems are designed to operate best between 50 and 60 PSI (pounds per square inch). Pressure over 80 PSI is considered too high and can cause damage.

A quality PRV installed by a professional typically lasts 10-12 years. If yours is older or you’re experiencing fluctuating pressure, it may be time for a replacement.

The most common sign is a small, intermittent drip from your water heater’s temperature and pressure relief valve. You might also hear a rumbling noise from the tank as it heats.

While common, it’s not something you have to live with. Low pressure in older homes is often due to corroded pipes that can be repaired or replaced to restore flow.
