The short answer
Housing in Statesville runs to a median build year of 1986. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

Statesville has 29,887 occupied homes across 3 ZIP codes. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1986 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

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.Statesville sits 1 year older than the NC median of 1987. Of the 190 NC towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 58% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 16th.
What 1986 tells you about the pipe in Statesville
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.
70% of occupied homes in Statesville are owner-occupied, 6 points above the NC figure of 64%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

The first thing to establish in Statesville is whether the problem is the house or one fixture, and it takes two minutes of walking around. Housing of this era can be copper throughout or copper with polybutylene in part, and the two fail differently enough that the pattern matters. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — test it. Whole house is a call; one tap usually is not.
