Past 80 PSI, code calls for a pressure-reducing valve. Plenty of Wittmann houses have one, installed when the house was built and never checked since. Regulators fail slowly and quietly, and the pressure behind them climbs until hoses, fill valves and relief valves start giving out. A gauge on the hose bib answers the question in a minute. It is the first thing we do on a maintenance visit.

Here is the local fact that matters: Wittmann water holds roughly 15 to 20 grains of dissolved mineral per gallon. Heaters feel it first, valves and cartridges second, the owner’s wallet a close third. A water softener changes the arithmetic; nothing else does.

Here is what the visit covers. Static pressure, read on a gauge at a hose bib; code calls for a pressure-reducing valve once it climbs past 80 PSI. The water heater: sediment flushed, relief valve inspected, venting and burner checked on gas units, the anode looked at where it can be reached. The main shutoff and fixture stops, turned so they don’t seize. Toilets dye-tested for silent leaks. Supply hoses, traps, the disposal, hose bibs, and visible pipe in the garage and attic. And the meter, watched with every fixture off, for leaks nobody can hear.

Due for a visit if any of these sound familiar

  • Nobody has looked at the water heater since it went in

    Sediment builds fastest in hard water, and a tank that has never been flushed may be past the point where flushing helps. What the heater’s noises mean is a good place to start.

  • The main valve hasn’t moved in years

    Valves that sit untouched collect scale and seize. Most people learn this during the emergency, which is the worst possible time to learn anything.

  • Pipes bang when a valve snaps shut

    Water hammer often means pressure is too high or a regulator has failed. Both are cheap to confirm with a gauge and costly to ignore, since high pressure shortens the life of every hose, valve and appliance downstream.

  • Is a toilet refilling itself at night?

    A flapper leaking into the bowl wastes water without a sound worth noticing. A few drops of food coloring in the tank, no flushing for 15 minutes, and color in the bowl gives you the answer.

  • White crust on faucets and showerheads

    That is scale, and what shows on the outside is building inside valves and the water heater too. The hard water cost calculator puts a yearly figure on it for your house.

  • You just bought the place

    The home inspection report said “plumbing functional,” which can be true of a house with a slab leak and a failing heater. A plumber’s inspection looks at age, material and pressure, not only whether water comes out.

Plumbing Maintenance Plans

Questions we get asked

How often should a Phoenix house be inspected?
Once a year suits most homes. The water heater flush benefits most from a steady schedule in hard water, and pressure regulators fail without announcing it. Houses with polybutylene or galvanized supply pipe can justify a closer look.
Will you try to sell me things?
We will show you what we found and tell you what we would do about it. Our technicians aren’t paid on commission, so nobody gains by padding the list, and we say plainly when something can wait a year. Plenty can.
Is a water heater flush actually worth it?
In the first several years, yes: it removes loose sediment before it hardens. On a tank that has gone a decade without one, flushing can break loose scale that then clogs the drain valve, and we may recommend leaving it alone. That answer sells nothing, which is how you can tell it is the honest one.
What pressure should my house be at?
Somewhere around 50 to 70 PSI is comfortable for most homes. Above 80 PSI, code calls for a pressure-reducing valve, and sustained high pressure wears out washing machine hoses, toilet fill valves and water heater relief valves early.
