Dropping Water Pressure

Posted by Boris on April 29, 2003 at 10:37:33:
For the last couple of months water pressure in our home has been steadily dropping until this morning the water flow slowed down to a trickle. I went outside to check the main shut off valve outside the house and it seemed to be ok. I returned to the house and after about 30 minutes I heard the sound of water filling toilet tanks. I checked the faucets and the water pressure appeared to be back to normal. Obviously, my water supply pipes somehow unclogged this morning. I would appreciate any advice as to what valves/pipes I should check/close/open to make sure I don't have this situation in the future. Ours is a 2 story house with a water heater in the attic, built in 1996. Thanks, Boris
