We recently wrapped up a smart plumbing upgrade for a homeowner on Heartwood Road in Amelia, Ohio—one that brings both peace of mind and long-term protection for their home’s water system.
The Problem
Like many homes in the Greater Cincinnati area, this property was experiencing high incoming water pressure, which can quietly wreak havoc over time. Unchecked pressure strains pipes, wears down appliances, and increases the risk of leaks and burst lines—especially in older systems.
Our Solution
A+ Services installed two critical components to bring this system up to standard:
- Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV): This device regulates the pressure of incoming municipal water to a safe, consistent level throughout the home. It helps extend the life of fixtures and prevent damage from water pressure spikes.
- New Main Water Shutoff Valve: The original shutoff was outdated and hard to access. Our team replaced it with a modern ball valve that allows for fast, easy shutoff in case of emergency or maintenance. No more scrambling or guesswork when it’s time to shut the water off.
We also updated nearby piping with clean, high-quality copper fittings to ensure longevity and reduce the risk of corrosion or joint failure.
Why This Matters for Your Home
If your water pressure is too high (or even inconsistent), you could be looking at:
- Premature failure of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines
- Leaking or burst supply lines
- Noisy pipes (“water hammer”) and valve wear
- Higher utility bills from wasted water
A properly installed PRV solves all of that—and combined with a reliable shutoff valve, it gives you greater control over your home’s water system.
