Help! I bought a brick ranch circa 1958; unaware that nothing had been maintained or repaired in all that time. (Yes, I had a home inspection done, but I was out of town, my mother was dying, etc; you get the picture - I messed up but am now trying to live with what I've got. ) Anyway, I keep getting leaks. The most recent plumber who was here told me that the water pressure entering the house is too strong & this is causing the frequent leaks. I've also heard from a neighbor that their plumber (a different person & different company) indicated that their problems also stemmed from the high water pressure in this area of town.
The plumber gave me an estimate; said I needed 2 pressure regulators, one where the water entered the house and another before the water heater. He priced it at just under $500.
Does it sound reasonable to put in 2 regulators? Any opinions on what questions to ask next before I consent to this? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!
