Long term is probably scale or peeling inside iron pipe. Have to replace.

It might help a bit to take off the sink diffusers and shower head.......back-flush or blow out with air.
-They are probably clogged with sediment kicked up from the WH.
-It can get trapped behind sink/shower valves.
-This happens when the city flushes the fire hydrants also.


The shower in a condo once stopped working.
Third floor.
Plumber pulled the cartridge, and found a piece of rusty old piece of hardware had been floating around in the pipes, clogging the valve.
"$175 smackeroos pls."
That was an expensive screw.
