This house is very old. It is a two family. I used to live upstairs, but moved downstairs.
We had decent enough flow, but now the tenant is complaining that is is terrible. I have seen it and it is terrible.
The hot water to the shower is almost a trickle.
There are copper pipes coming off the hot water heater, but when the turn to go upstairs they become iron pipes. There is a line downstairs and that gets good flow.
Would three months of minimal use cause a blockage?
Is there anything you suggest trying before I go replacing all the lines?
The kitchen sink has low flow. Before I replace those lines I will remove the valves and try flushing the lines incase there is some sediment there.
The shower I am going to remove the head and see if there is sediment there, but I just put the head on.
