How do I prevent pressure buildup in my plumbing?

To prevent pressure buildup in your plumbing, make sure you have a functioning pressure regulating valve. Your plumbing system’s pressure should stay between 60 and 70 psi. Make sure your water heater has a working thermal expansion tank. This device absorbs the extra volume of water when it heats up, keeping pressure steady and protecting your pipes. A working temperature and pressure valve is also important. Regular maintenance and checking your water heater can also help avoid pressure issues.
