The short answer
The median build year in Flowery Branch is 2001, recent enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. On housing this age a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve, and a single weak tap is usually the aerator on that fixture.

What 2001 tells you about the pipe in Flowery Branch
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.
78% of occupied homes in Flowery Branch are owner-occupied, 13 points above the GA figure of 65%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Housing this new in Flowery Branch rarely has a materials problem, so the useful first step is the same one but the likely answer is different: count the weak taps, and if it is all of them look at the valve rather than the plumbing. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — how to check. Whole house, or just the one.
