The short answer
The median home in Topton dates from 1957, which puts galvanized steel supply pipe in the frame: it loses bore from the inside and loses it everywhere at once. Weak pressure at every tap points at the supply, while one weak tap usually points at that fixture.

What 1957 tells you about the pipe in Topton
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.

In a town of this vintage the first question in Topton is still how many taps are weak, and the answer usually comes back "all of them" — which points at the supply rather than at any fixture. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low, and a gauge settles it in a minute. Whole house is worth a call; one tap is usually yours to fix.
