High Water Pressure Plumbers
Water pressure problems can lead to leaking or burst pipes if it is too high or not having enough water to enjoy your morning shower if it is too low!
Protect Your Pipes. Fix High Pressure Before It Bursts.
Many homes across the Hills District are unknowingly exposed to dangerously high water pressure, often well above the NSW maximum recommended level of 500 kPa.
Excessive pressure can quietly destroy internal pipework, burst flexi hoses under sinks, and shorten the life of every appliance you own.
Even worse, it may void your home insurance if a failure is linked to unregulated pressure.
The Plumbing Paramedics specialise in water pressure reduction solutions.
We test, diagnose, and install pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) that meet council standards, protecting your home and plumbing system from unnecessary damage.
Common Symptoms of High Pressure
- Loud or hammering pipes when taps are turned off
- Tap water that surges, splashes or spits
- Leaking mixers, flick mixers or cartridge taps
- Hot water systems repeatedly triggering relief valves
- New tapware or appliances failing sooner than expected
- Multiple burst flexi hoses over a few years
- Toilet cisterns overflowing or ghost-flushing
Why High Water Pressure is a Hidden Danger
Pressure from Sydney Water mains is not always consistent. In newer subdivisions or high supply areas, mains can exceed 700–1000 kPa. That’s enough to:
- Split flexible braided hoses
- Overload and rupture dishwasher hoses
- Cause premature failure in washing machines and fridges with water dispensers
- Damage internal mixer taps and shower diverters
- Cause constant leaks in hot water units and pressure relief valves
- Stress pipes over time, leading to ruptures behind walls or in ceilings

Insurance Implications: Read the Fine Print For High Water Pressure Faults
Most home insurance policies do not cover water damage caused by burst flexi hoses or appliance failures if high pressure is deemed the cause and no pressure-limiting device was installed. It’s a leading cause of denied water damage claims in NSW.
We’ve helped countless homeowners avoid this financial trap by proactively managing their pressure and protecting their pipework.
What Happens If You Don’t Fix It?
Unchecked pressure leads to:
- Burst pipes inside walls and ceilings
- Extensive water damage
- Voided appliance warranties
- Risk of flooding from hose failure
- Higher repair bills when systems wear out faster
- Missed insurance coverage if claims are denied
Our High Pressure Water Services Include:
- Licensed water pressure testing at multiple fixture points
- Supply and installation of brass PRVs (pressure-reducing valves)
- System balancing for hot and cold flow
- Replacement of flexi hoses and isolation taps
- Emergency pressure diagnosis after pipe or hose bursts
Ask us about linking this with a new hot water system or bathroom renovation. This is often the best time to pressure proof your home.
