What 2004 tells you about the pipe in Longs
Housing of this vintage generally means copper and the first widespread PEX. Neither corrodes closed, so a genuine whole-house pressure drop in a house of this age is almost always a valve, the meter, or the supply into the property — not the plumbing inside it. More on 2000s supply pipe.
86% of occupied homes in Longs are owner-occupied, 7 points above the SC figure of 79%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Before calling anyone in Longs, 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.
