Increased cold water pressure

Posted by Scot Wills, on
Woke up this morning and the cold water pressure has had a sudden increase. Also got an over flow pipe dripping. Assuming both are connected. Tried turning the stop cock off and draining the water, but once back on dripping again.

Hi Scott, If you’ve not had any plumbing work done prior to the Increase in pressure, you can call your water authority and ask them if they have increased the pressure locally recently. If they haven’t altered anything then and it’s too high pressure for your system then you can ask a plumber round to install pressure reducing valve.
