When a home is built, there is a process of inspection that each home will go through to make sure that the water coming into the home does not have any leaks. After that, until something breaks no one really looks at those pipes twice. Which is not a bad thing, and it speaks to modern construction and inspections. But twenty, thirty, or even forty years later, there can be buildup and scaling from incoming water and slowly over time the putty, glue, or tape that was used will start to break down and then there is rust. Over the decades, the quality of the water will lower and so will the water pressure.
