How do you handle leaky pipes and clogged drains at home?

I get the appeal of thermal cameras, but honestly, I’ve had mixed luck with them—sometimes the readings are just too subtle, especially if the pipes haven’t been used in a while. I’m more old-school: knock on the wall, listen for that hollow thunk, and pray you don’t hit a stud. And as for SharkBites, yeah, they’re pricey, but I’ve seen a few pop off when folks didn’t deburr the pipe right. Nothing like a midnight geyser to keep you humble... Sometimes I think a good headlamp and a little patience beats all the gadgets.
