The short answer
Wadesboro has a median build year of 1972 across its housing. That is late enough for copper and early enough for polybutylene in places, which is why the pattern of the symptom is worth establishing before anybody is called out.

Wadesboro has 3,925 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1972 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Of the 190 NC towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 95% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 95th.
What 1972 tells you about the pipe in Wadesboro
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.
62% of occupied homes in Wadesboro are owner-occupied, which is about the NC figure of 64% once the survey’s margin of error is allowed for. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
