High pressure often shows up as nuisance issues at first. Faucets begin to drip, toilets run more frequently, and seals wear out prematurely. Over time, the risk becomes more serious. Flexible supply lines, especially washing machine hoses, are common failure points and can burst without warning, causing significant water damage in minutes.
Pressure problems are often worse at night. When fewer people are using water, system demand drops and municipal pressure can spike, sometimes well above daytime levels. These nighttime surges accelerate wear on plumbing and are a leading cause of sudden leaks in homes without proper regulation.
Recognizing these risks, Nevada plumbing codes began requiring pressure regulation in 1997 when supply pressure exceeds safe limits. Many older homes were built before this requirement and still operate without a PRV, leaving homeowners vulnerable.
