Right, I know it's been discussed before, sorry. The water supply that comes into my house is lead pipe, runs around 6/7m through the basement, held up on nails. It's visibly dented/sagging in places. The water pressure is ok in general, but top shower (electric) and the tap up there basically go to a dribble if someone is having a shower downstairs. Water meter is in the street directly outside the boundary wall, about 3m of front garden in between.
Should I be looking to replace it?
Will it make any difference to the water pressure if I only replace the section inside the house?
if you have the money to change it then do so - get a quote from the water board for connection cost as the main may be in the road - check your searches
you should see an improvement in flow more so than pressure - however the pressure is whatever the mains is
