If your home water pressure reading exceeds 100 PSI, you are facing an immediate plumbing emergency and must take urgent action to prevent a catastrophic pipe burst or appliance failure. Standard residential codes prohibit pressure above 80 PSI. Step 1: Locate your main water shut-off valve and partially close it to temporarily throttle incoming flow and protect your pipes. Step 2: Call a licensed professional plumber immediately to replace your failed pressure reducing valve (PRV). Verification: Screw a pressure gauge onto an outdoor spigot and verify that the PSI drops below 80 before leaving the system unattended.
