The short answer
Housing in McKinney has a median build year of 2010. Where the stock is that new, weak pressure is more often a valve or a fixture than a corroded supply line, and both can be checked before anything is assumed.

What 2010 tells you about the pipe in McKinney
Housing of this vintage generally means PEX or copper, new enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. Where pressure is poor from the day someone moves in, the usual answer is a pressure-reducing valve set low at handover, and it is an adjustment rather than a repair. More on 2010s supply pipe.

Before calling anyone in McKinney, check whether every tap is weak or just one. On housing this recent a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve or the meter than the pipe itself. 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.
