very.... we think we have all the leaks out of ours now... every time we thought we had the leaks outta the pipes... the nature of copper would come about and bite us in the butt...

our other problem is for some reason we're not getting normal pressure from our hot water side now... cant figure out why...

Sweating copper pipe can be a pain in the butt sometimes. How old is your water heater?

new now... dunno bout the old one... our problem was wed get one end sealed putting the new pipe in and when we went to do the other side (because of the nature of copper) the side wed just finished would undo itself...

If your water lines have ever been completely drained, the natural deposits and what not, in the water lines can come dislodged and clog up your lines. I had that happen in one of the houses we were working on....
That house had it happen to only one shower though, took the shower head off, let it run, cleaned the head with CLR (or is it CRL?) and problem was solved.
If that's not your issue, then i'd go to the next one, you could have accidentally caused a clog with the solder, and I say that.... because somehow I managed the same thing... (don't ask)
Everyone ready for the Game?

could be the last one there.... one of the times dad replaced the water heater before (on our 4th now since the house was built in 90) he installed valved on both sides of the lines.. 1 on hot one on cold... so when we "found" the tank leaking both lines were turned off... so the lines inside the house were never drained... but i wouldnt put it past something getting "dislodged" either...

weird thing is downstairs has full pressure... its upstairs that doesnt...
