Eighty PSI is the pressure plumbing code treats as the ceiling inside a house, and plenty of Arcadia homes run above it without anyone knowing. A gauge that threads onto a hose bib will tell you in 30 seconds. High pressure sits behind a good share of the breaks we fix, so we check it on every pipe repair and tell you what we find.

The first question a plumber should ask in Arcadia is not what broke. It is when the house was built. Here the honest answer is usually 1930s-60s ranch homes, many extensively remodeled, and the pipe that came with it: original galvanized, frequently partly replaced with copper.

Two checks are worth doing before anything goes wrong. Find the main shutoff and turn it, today, while the house is dry, because valves left alone for a decade have a way of seizing. Then pick up a pressure gauge that threads onto a hose bib and take a reading. Anything above 80 PSI means the plumbing is working harder than it was built to, and a regulator costs far less than the pipes it protects.

Signs a pipe needs attention

  • Water where water shouldn’t be

    Under a sink, along a baseboard, dripping from a light fixture. Close the nearest valve or the main. Water coming through a ceiling near wiring is an emergency at any hour.

  • A bang when a valve closes

    That thud is water hammer. It shakes straps and fittings loose over time and often means pressure is too high. Arrestors and a working regulator quiet it down.

  • Green crust on copper, rust at threads

    Corrosion on the outside of a fitting usually means water has been weeping from it for a while. That’s the easiest leak to fix, before it turns into a spray.

  • What does your gauge say?

    A reading over 80 PSI shortens the life of every pipe, valve, and appliance in the house. It’s one of the most common hidden reasons behind the breaks we repair.

  • Brittle, cracked plastic

    Yellowed CPVC or gray polybutylene that cracks when touched. One repair is fine. A run of them points toward repiping.

  • Weak flow at a single fixture

    If the aerator and cartridge are clean, the line feeding that fixture may be kinked, crushed, or corroded partway closed.

Pipe Repair

Questions we get asked

Can a leaking pipe wait until morning?
If you can shut off the water to that line or the whole house, usually. A leak you can isolate is a scheduling problem. One you can’t stop is an emergency, and we answer at every hour.
Is a pipe repair clamp a permanent fix?
Think of it as a good tourniquet. On a pinhole or small split it will hold for a while, but it covers the problem rather than removing it. We use one when it’s the quickest way to get your water back, then replace the section properly.
Why do my copper pipes keep getting pinholes?
Usually a mix of water chemistry, high flow velocity, and installation details such as burrs left inside cut pipe. Once one pinhole appears, others tend to follow on the same run. Three in a couple of years is the point to talk seriously about replacement.
Do you patch the drywall after a pipe repair?
We close the openings we make. Whether texture and paint are included is spelled out in the quote, so you know ahead of time if you’ll be calling a painter.
