Hey guys, moved into an older home recently, noticed I have very low if any water pressure inside my home, checked the water heater (which is GAS) and come to find out when the gas guy came to turn my gas service on, he wouldn't light my water heater due to it being rusted and no vent. I am now in the midst of replacing the water heater and installing a vent pipe, my question is, why would my incoming water pressure be low? MIGHT BE AN OBVIOUS ANSWER TO MOST OF YOU, but I have no clue, I was wondering though since my water heater is rusted/old and not even lit (pilot light) would that affect my pressure? and if that wouldn't how likely is it that, I have low water pressure due to my water heater also being rusted on the inside? NO VISIBLE leaks on the water heater but looks very shiny to be a 30+ yr old water heater.
