There should be a shutoff at the wall where the water line enters the house. There may be one before the water heater or there will be one at the water meter.

How do you troubleshoot fluctuating pressure?

It could be as simple as air in the lines. First thing I would try is: Turn off the main water supply coming into the house. Then turn on all your taps while the water is turned off. Turn the water back on and start at the farthest faucet from the main and start turning taps off. Work your way back towards the main until you are done. Hope this helps.
