The Problem: More Than Just a Weak Shower
Water pressure is the force at which water enters your home from the city's supply. In Addison, the ideal residential water pressure is between 45 and 65 PSI (pounds per square inch). When your pressure falls outside this range, it creates significant problems.
Symptoms of Low Water Pressure (<45 PSI):
- • Weak, trickling showers
- • Appliances like dishwashers and washing machines take forever to fill
- • Difficulty using more than one faucet at a time
- • Poor performance from sprinkler systems
Symptoms of High Water Pressure (>70 PSI):
- • Banging noises in pipes (known as "water hammer")
- • Toilets that run constantly or leak
- • Dripping faucets
- • Premature failure of expensive appliances
- • Increased risk of catastrophic pipe burst
Common Causes We Diagnose:
- • Failed Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV)
- • Hidden leaks in main service line or foundation
- • Galvanized pipes clogged with mineral scale
- • Partially closed water meter valve
Why Professional Diagnostics Matter: A sudden drop or spike in water pressure isn't just inconvenient—it can indicate serious plumbing issues that could lead to expensive damage. Our diagnostic testing identifies the root cause so we can provide the right permanent solution.

Our Diagnostic Process: A Scientific Approach to Finding the Cause
We don't guess—we test. Our licensed plumbers follow a meticulous diagnostic process to identify the source of your water pressure issue.
Comprehensive Testing & Inspection
We begin with a baseline static pressure test at your outdoor hose spigot to get an accurate reading of the pressure being delivered to your home from the Addison municipal supply.
This tells us if the problem originates inside or outside your house, giving us a clear starting point for our investigation.
What We Check:
- Baseline Static Pressure Test: Specialized pressure gauge connected to your outdoor hose spigot for accurate PSI readings.
- PRV Inspection: Testing your Pressure Reducing Valve (found in most homes built after 1990) for proper function.
- Leak Detection: Checking for hidden leaks in your main service line or beneath your foundation that could cause pressure drops.
- Pipe Condition Assessment: Evaluating older galvanized steel pipes for mineral scale buildup common with Addison's hard water.
Trust Principle Plumbing for accurate diagnostics that identify the real problem.
Permanent Solutions Tailored to Your Home
Once we've diagnosed the problem, we provide a clear, upfront estimate for the right solution. We don't just identify issues—we fix them permanently.
Whether it's high pressure, low pressure, or inconsistent flow, we have the expertise and equipment to restore your water system to optimal performance.
SOLUTIONS WE PROVIDE:
- PRV Installation & Replacement: Install high-quality Pressure Reducing Valves from trusted brands like Zurn and Watts to protect your entire home from high pressure damage.
- Leak Repair: Pinpoint and repair hidden leaks in your main service line or foundation to restore normal pressure.
