Default low water pressure

zouriel wrote:

I just bought a house built in 1969. The water pressure in the
bathrooms are horrible. From water coming from spouts to water from
showerhead. I also notice the water from the toilets dump slowly and
there are times when you have to flush twice. The house is a one level
ranch with a full basement. The hot water heater is in the basement.
Any ideas or help on what i can do to increase water pressure would be
a great help thanks.


City water?

Does the service have a pressure regulator (PRV)?

Low flow at the outside hose bibbs too?

Do neighbors have similar problems?

Is interior supply piping galvanized iron?
