90 PSI Water Pressure Corrected with a New PRV Installation Icon at Legacy West, Plano, Texas

A leaking refrigerator water line brought GPS Plumbing to this Plano home. The leak itself was simple to fix; the pressure test behind it told a bigger story, and a bigger repair.

What we found

Water was spraying from the connection behind the refrigerator. Our plumber shut off the icemaker supply line first, then went to the source: a pressure test on the home's incoming water line. The gauge read 90 PSI, well above the range most residential fixtures, lines, and appliances are built to handle over time. At that pressure, the refrigerator connection wasn't a one-off failure; it was a symptom.

Installing the PRV

Rather than patch the leak and leave the underlying pressure untouched, GPS Plumbing located the main water supply in the front yard flower bed and installed a new pressure reducing valve (PRV) with a matching shutoff assembly. The completed assembly was set inside an accessible underground valve box on a gravel base, so it stays protected and serviceable for years to come.

High Water Pressure SOLVED

Completed installation, new pressure reducing valve and shutoff assembly, set in an underground valve box on a gravel base, Icon at Legacy West, Plano, TX.

Final pressure: approximately 60 PSI

With the PRV in place, we turned the water back on and retested at the same point in the system. The reading came back at approximately 60 PSI; solidly inside the range recommended for residential plumbing, and a level that takes the ongoing strain off every fixture and supply line in the house, not just the one that failed.
