What 1956 tells you about the pipe in Netcong
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel still the norm, with copper appearing towards the end of the decade. A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.

Before calling anyone in Netcong, check whether every tap is weak or just one. On housing this old a whole-house drop is the expected finding, because galvanized steel loses bore from the inside and loses it everywhere at once. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
