We are leaders in water damage restoration in Lake County.

Our Northwest Lake County team is trained and certified to mitigate and restore water damage from broken pipes in Lake Villa. Pipe failure in a home can occur for various reasons beyond typical issues like corrosion or freezing. Another reason for pipe failure is excessive pressure within the plumbing system. Two reasons for excessive pressure are faulty pressure regulators and municipal water pressure fluctuations.

Faulty Pressure Regulators:

• A pressure regulator is a device installed in the plumbing system to consistently control and maintain the water pressure
• When a pressure regulator malfunctions or becomes faulty, it may fail to regulate the pressure effectively, leading to inconsistencies in water pressure throughout the plumbing system
• Faulty pressure regulators can result in water pressure that is too high or too low, both of which can cause stress on pipes and fixtures. High water pressure can lead to bursts or leaks in pipes, while low water pressure may result in inadequate water flow for household tasks.

Municipal Water Pressure Fluctuations:

• Municipal water pressure fluctuations stem from variations in the pressure of the water supplied by the local water utility
