Identifying excessively high water pressure involves recognizing several distinct mechanical warning signs. Major indicators include loud banging or clanking noises (water hammer) in your pipes whenever a faucet or toilet shuts off quickly, frequent premature failures of water heater tanks or washing machine hoses, plumbing joints weeping moisture, and toilets running constantly. For an exact measurement, you can screw a water pressure test gauge onto an outdoor hose bib. Verification: Check if your pressure test gauge reads above the 80 PSI maximum code limit during off-peak hours.
