Water Pressure

[lind777]

I was wondering if there was any way that the water pressure in an old house can be increased. Very little water comes out of the faucets and the toilet is hard to flush completely. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The opening of the inside of old steel pipe could be greatly reduced smaller than a pencil and not allowing sufficent volume of water to flow to each fixture unit. If you saw the inside of old steel water lines you wouldnt want to drink the water even though it is safe. If the water service also is old galv. it also should be replaced. If this is not the case a local plumber could be called in to discuss a pressure booster pump package. Good Luck!!
