What 1987 tells you about the pipe in Tinley Park
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.
87% of occupied homes in Tinley Park are owner-occupied, 23 points above the IL figure of 64%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In Tinley Park, count the weak taps before you do anything else. Every one of them points at the supply; a single one points at that fixture, and the difference decides whether this costs you five minutes or a contractor. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low (here is the test). Then: whole house or one tap.
