Free to homeowners in Woodbridge — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
Woodbridge has a median build year of 1968 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.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035.
Woodbridge has 7,733 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1968 — 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.

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.Woodbridge sits 2 years newer than the NJ median of 1966. Of the 449 NJ towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 47% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 135th.
What 1968 tells you about the pipe in Woodbridge
Housing of this vintage generally means the changeover years. Copper is common by now but galvanized is still in the ground and in the walls, so what matters is not the build year but which sections were ever replaced. A pressure test at the outside tap tells you more than the age does. More on 1960s supply pipe.
53% of occupied homes in Woodbridge are owner-occupied, 10 points below 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 Woodbridge 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.
