    Loss of hot water in house
    I am a senior citizen and live in an older home. Hot water heater is getting older. However, when I turned on the hot water in my tub the other night, I noticed a very reduced pressure. The water appeared to be hot after it dribbled for a while. Then I turned on the sink faucet in the bath as well as the kitchen sink hot water faucet and there was also reduced pressure. This just happened suddenly. Can you tell me where I should begin. I went and bought a new hot water heater but I am not sure that is the problem. I can't find any leaks.
