Most homeowners worry about low water pressure—but what many don’t realize is that high water pressure can be far more damaging. If you live in Marietta or nearby, excessive water pressure could be silently damaging your plumbing system, appliances, and water heater—without obvious warning signs. At A Super Plumber, we’re seeing more homeowners deal with preventable damage caused by pressure that’s simply too high.
Most homes should operate between 40–60 PSI (pounds per square inch).If your pressure exceeds 70 PSI, you’re entering a risk zone.
At 80+ PSI, damage can begin to occur—often without you realizing it.
High pressure doesn’t just affect how water flows—it puts constant stress on your entire plumbing system. Over time, this can lead to:
This is one of the most overlooked causes of expensive plumbing repairs.
If turning on a faucet causes water to shoot out forcefully or splash excessively, pressure may be too high.
Loud noises when turning water on or off can indicate pressure-related stress in your pipes.
If you’re dealing with recurring small leaks, high pressure could be the underlying cause.
Excess pressure forces your water heater to work harder, often leading to early failure or tank damage.
High pressure accelerates wear on internal components, leading to frequent repairs.
The good news? This is often a quick and affordable fix. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) can regulate your home’s water pressure and protect your plumbing system long-term. If your home already has a PRV, it may need adjustment or replacement.
In many areas around Marietta, municipal water pressure can fluctuate or run higher than ideal—especially in certain neighborhoods or elevation zones. That means homeowners may be dealing with hidden high pressure without realizing it.
High water pressure is one of those issues that stays invisible—until something breaks. By the time damage appears, it’s often already costly. A simple pressure check can save you:
