Re: Apartment Testing Results ... Any Advice / Info?

[Guest guest]

How old are the apartments or the plumbing? No pressure could be galvanized

steel pipes that develope corrostion inside and narrow the opening in the

pipes, therefore reducing amount of water that can come through. Also if

building was not built originally to be apartment but one family home,

plumbing may not be sufficient for multiple users simultaneously. There

would have to be HUGE leak to affect water pressure, so large it couldn't

hide, your building would be floating in water and water bill would be out

of sight. I doubt the two are connected. If plumbing is old, could be

water pressure problem due to corrostion limiting water flow and ALSO loose

fittings that are leaking from age/building settlement/shifting.
