    If its an older house (pre-1950) check to see if you plumbing is galvanized steel pipes (especially the supply line to the street.) Mixed metals (steel + copper) create some funky voodoo and the steel plugs up like a clogged artery. I got burned on this one two houses ago and had to replace 5k worth of waterlines.... You get a huge tax refund for the first 10 years...your hand will hurt from signing your name so many times at closing.
