    Low pressure after replumbing bathroom

    And the only thing that was touched really between when it worked properly and when it didn't was turning off the water main under the house. That gate valve has been replaced by a ball valve but the gate valve seemed fine. It doesn't make sense

    Low pressure after replumbing bathroom

    The valve at the water meter was shut off by my husband before he replaced the main water valve under the house. The low flow issue started before that valve was turned off though

    Low pressure after replumbing bathroom

    Our next step is digging up the line from the house shut-off valve to where it connects to the 2 inch pipe

    Low pressure after replumbing bathroom

    We did shut off the water at the meter and replace the main shut off valve. We have 1500 feet of 2 inch pipe. Can you use air pressure on that much line? As you can tell we are trying everything we can cause locating a plug in that much line is gonna be horrendous. I don't know any video camera...

    Low pressure after replumbing bathroom

    Yes it is city water. We didn't change out the meter. We changed out the regulator. We did call the water company. They said no leaks. If I'm reading this meter right one of the cycles it goes through says 6. 52 p with either a minus sign or some kind of vertical hash sign in front of it.

    We had no noticeable pressure problems before this and the problem exists on a tap before the regulator.

    Low pressure after replumbing bathroom

    I will get one of those and try it but on opening that spigot I get the same initial good flow and then a huge decrease as I get in the house. There is a gauge past the regulator that we can see is 60 lbs until we turn on on water then it plummets. From what I've read this is a sign of blockage...
