The short answer
Housing in Landisville runs to a median build year of 1982. 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.

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.Landisville sits 8 years newer than the PA median of 1974. Of the 303 PA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 26% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 150th.
What 1982 tells you about the pipe in Landisville
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.
89% of occupied homes in Landisville are owner-occupied, 22 points above the PA figure of 67%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In Landisville, 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.
