If your pipes are that blocked to restrict water flow, they have probably been developing the calcium over some time--with this calcium undermining the structure of your pipes. It is quite possible if you were ever to clean this calcium from your pipes you will find leaks follow.
Replacement would be my option.
Replace with galvanized, copper, or if your area allows, pex pipe, or PVC (CPVC for hot water)..

have you ever tried a plunger. Fill your sink with water and block up the overflow. Then place plunger over sink waste and press up and down a pair of dozen circumstances, then do away with and seeif water runs away. If no stable, pour Caustic Soda down the waste. Be very careful the way you safeguard those products because of the fact it may burn your epidermis. ultimately, you may do away with the sink catch from below and spot no remember if it extremely is blocked.

At this point, it is best to replace them. I would purchase a water softener to keep this from occurring again. It will not be fun but it will save you money in the long run. SORRY!
