In my days living in Arizona, before I learned what to look for in an apartment, I made the mistake of taking a semi-basement. It was great for the heat but the water pressure was terrible and backed up in the tub all the time, not at all what I expected in a place so dry. Luckily, I found the best plumber in the Mesa AZ area and they fixed it right up for me, they got the whole building’s plumbing running smoothly. Back on topic, you need to go to all the bathrooms (even the ones you don’t regularly use) and check the working capacity of all the taps and sinks. Inconsistently used bathroom pipes will have built up deposits in them, and you need to clear that out.
