Frozen and burst pipes
Central Jersey winters freeze pipes in unheated spaces: crawl spaces, garages, exterior walls and outdoor faucets. Water expands as it freezes and splits the pipe, and the leak often shows up only when it thaws. If a faucet gives no water on a cold morning, the line may be frozen. Shut off the main valve before it thaws and call. Mike's guides on winterizing pipes and frozen outdoor faucets cover prevention.
Low water pressure
Low pressure at one faucet is usually a clogged aerator or worn cartridge. Low pressure everywhere points to the pressure regulator, the main valve or corroded pipe. Hard water speeds that corrosion up; see how hard water hurts plumbing.
Old pipes
Galvanized steel pipe rusts from the inside and narrows over decades. Copper can develop pinhole leaks. If you're fixing leaks every few months, ask about repiping. Mike explains how long common pipe materials last.
