PressureTrace is a referral service, not a plumbing contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We do not perform plumbing work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

What 1987 tells you about the pipe in Thorndale

Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.

Before calling anyone in Thorndale, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
