From a plumber’s point of view, A1 plumbers also believe that safety must be the number one priority for any system, task, or work environment. Engineers have designed the pressure valve to avoid any accident, injury, or loss.

The pressure valve is designed to release to let out the excessive build-up pressure from the system before it explodes. The only reason the valve opens up is when the system is malfunctioning otherwise under any normal circumstance the valve will not open. If a proper inspection takes place to ensure the system runs normally, this problem can be easily avoided.

When A1 plumbers receive a call for a pressure valve repair, we first inspect and diagnose the problem. If the problem is a plumbing-related issue then we first fix the issue and then replace the pressure valve.

If the problem was a non-plumbing issue and it was a mechanical issue we advise and suggest the clients hire a mechanical engineer to rectify the problem before we install a pressure valve. A pressure valve is rarely faulty. If we find the pressure valve is faulty then we directly change the valve and this will fix the issue however changing a pressure valve alone will never solve the problem if the system itself is impaired.
