Pressure Relief Valve Replacement in West Palm Beach

Signs it's time

A drip that never stops

Relief valves open when pressure climbs above their setting. There is one on your water heater, and some homes have another on the water line outside.

• Steady dripping from the discharge pipe
• Water pooling under the valve or staining the wall
• Crusted minerals or corrosion on the valve
• A valve that a previous owner capped or plugged

What we do

Test first, then replace

We put a gauge on the system and read the pressure before replacing anything. If the pressure is normal, the valve is worn and we replace it. If the pressure is high, we tell you what is causing it.

• Pressure reading with a gauge
• New relief valve matched to the system
• Discharge pipe pointed down and left open
• Advice on a pressure reducing valve or expansion tank when pressure is the real problem

Good to know

Never cap it

A relief valve is a safety device. Plugging a dripping one sends that pressure into your water heater and supply lines instead.

• Normal house pressure is roughly 40 to 80 psi
• Dripping only while the water heater is heating points to thermal expansion
• Constant dripping points to a worn valve or high street pressure
