    Little pressure in hot water pipes
    Shower has little hot water coming from it. If shower is on and I turn on the sink hot water, there is no hot water coming from it, also, in the kitchen, absolutely no, zero hot water. This unit, is about 65 years old. I think the pipes are clogged and rusted and probably need new ones. What do you think

    Good luck, Tom
