Pippin Brothers will look for stains around the fittings and shutoff valves, which could indicate a sign of corrosion causing leaks or bad connections. - Water pressure check, if it is too low this could be a sign of line problems or sediment buildup. - Speed of drainage in sink and tub drains - if draining too slow this could indicate a clog or blocked vent pipe. - Flush the toilets to make sure they operate properly. Open their tanks and look for worn or missing parts. Then wait around for a few minutes to see if the toilet runs after a pause, a sign of a slow leak. - Drain the water heater to remove sediment that has settled to the bottom. Sometimes leaks in faucets are caused by hard water wearing out the washers. - Mildew evidence where standing water accumulates. - Look for cracks on the toilet tank or bowl or on sinks. - Shower and bath faucet check for leaks around handles and valves. - Sump pump check to confirm equipment on and operating properly. ### Affordable Drain Cleaning Services When You Need it Fast!
