This is what happens to Galvanized pipes after years of service.
The first galvanized steel pipe supplier appeared only 135 years ago to help supply water to the citizens of San Francisco. This type of piping was used up until the introduction of PVC in the early 1960's.
Like all things, galvanized piping has a life span. If you live in an older home, and are experiencing low water pressure this is likely the cause. As galvanized piping ages it begins to rust from the inside out. The sediment that is released gradually builds up and begins to restrict water flow. Because hot water is more corrosive than cold water you will generally see the greatest amount of restriction on the hot water side. If left unchecked the piping will begin to leak resulting in damage to drywall, and in extreme cases house framing members.
