Excessive water pressure may cause your distribution pipes to leak. A properly functioning pressure regulator will only allow 75 psi, so any pressure reading above that means you’re either missing a regulator, or it’s no longer functioning properly. 60-70 psi will typically provide plenty of pressure throughout the home and won’t stress your water pipes, assuming your pipes are properly sized and not seized. I recommend checking your water pressure and making any necessary adjustments to help prevent leaks. A licensed plumber can certainly help, if needed.

For many years shingles were installed with roughly 1-1/2 inches hanging over the gutters to help keep water away from the roof's sheathing (decking), fascia, and soffit. Over the years it was realized this often wasn’t sufficient. Around 2012 drip edge flashing became the standard to protect these areas from water damage. (There are several videos online demonstrating how water laps under the shingles). This photo shows my screwdriver penetrating the sheathing after being damaged by rainwater, evidence of how important proper edge flashing can be to protect your investment.
