The short answer
Housing in Anderson runs to a median build year of 1987. 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.

Anderson has 41,347 occupied homes across 4 ZIP codes. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1987 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.
What this site is
PressureTrace is a referral service, not a plumbing contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. 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.Anderson sits 4 years older than the SC median of 1991. Of the 77 SC towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 70% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 5th.
What 1987 tells you about the pipe in Anderson
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.
71% of occupied homes in Anderson are owner-occupied, which is about the SC figure of 73% once the survey’s margin of error is allowed for. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Anderson ZIP codes is $56,904, 13% below the SC median of $65,603.

Before calling anyone in Anderson, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
