Bathroom
- Toilets: listen for running water and conduct the food colouring test described on the first page.
- Faucets: listen for drips and turn on the tap to check for water going in the wrong direction.
- Showerheads: turn on and look for drips or stray sprays that can be stopped with tape.
- In the tub: turn on the tub, then divert the water to the shower and see if there’s still a lot of water coming from the tub spout; that could mean the tub spout diverter needs replacing.
- Under the sink: check for pooling water under pipes and rust around joints and edges.
