An often overlooked factor is water pressure — too low or too high can create major issues. At Bobcaygeon Plumbing, we help Kawartha homeowners strike the right balance.
Excessive pressure might seem like a good thing, but it can damage pipes, shorten the lifespan of your water heater, and wear out fixtures prematurely.
A simple water pressure gauge, available at most hardware stores, can give you a reading. The safe range for Peterborough homes is usually between 40–60 psi.
If your water pressure consistently falls outside this range, it could mean clogged pipes, leaks, or a faulty regulator. Bobcaygeon Plumbing can assess the issue and make adjustments to keep your system safe.
Final Thought: Monitoring water pressure is a small step that can save Peterborough homeowners from big plumbing bills.
