What the customer called about
At a home in Jenks, ZIP code 74037, the water heater's temperature and pressure relief valve had discharged and flooded the floor drain. We checked the home's water pressure and found it was 120 psi.
What our plumber found
We found the main gate valve in a hallway bedroom closet. The pressure reading was very high, and we needed access through the drywall to install a pressure regulator and a new main shutoff.
How we fixed it
We opened the closet wall and installed a pressure regulator, a new main shutoff and a water filter. At the homeowner's request, we rotated the regulator to keep it from getting hit.
We also replaced the water heater's temperature and pressure relief valve after it had discharged.
What this means for your home
If your water heater's relief valve releases water, don't assume the valve is the only issue. We checked the house pressure on this visit and found 120 psi. A pressure check can help guide the repair before simply replacing a dripping valve.
