Water Pressure Drops
Hot or cold on each faucet in the house drops pressure about a half second after you turn it on. They still run but you have to turn it more to get up to the correct pressure. Is there anything I can check or do to fix this problem?

Replacing the galvanized pipes will solve the problem... Of course, you will have to do it as you are able, but they all need to go... The reason the water comes out initially is because you have correct pressure, but low VOLUME... so when the water is off the volume builds up and the pipe is at full pressure... As soon as you open it and the "headstart" of volume runs out, you have very low volume with decent pressure... To ease you mind however, get a pressure guage at a hardware store and put it on your front faucet and also on a back faucet...
