The short answer
Housing in Beaverton runs to a median build year of 1985. 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.

What 1985 tells you about the pipe in Beaverton
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.

In Beaverton, count the weak taps before you do anything else. Every one of them points at the supply; a single one points at that fixture, and the difference decides whether this costs you five minutes or a contractor. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low (here is the test). Then: whole house or one tap.
