The short answer
Housing in Fountainville runs to a median build year of 1976. 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.

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.Fountainville sits 2 years newer than the PA median of 1974. Of the 303 PA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 46% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 272nd.
What 1976 tells you about the pipe in Fountainville
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.
