The short answer
Housing in Brigantine runs to a median build year of 1980. 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.

Brigantine has 3,954 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1980 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

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.Brigantine sits 14 years newer than the NJ median of 1966. Of the 449 NJ towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 21% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 244th.
What 1980 tells you about the pipe in Brigantine
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.
75% of occupied homes in Brigantine are owner-occupied, 12 points above the NJ figure of 63%. 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 Brigantine 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.
