Why I'll Always Follow the "Bath Rule" When I Tour a House

It happened just three days after we moved in. My husband took a bath, and as the tub drained the pressure of the draining water caused a pipe to separate in the basement and flood our downstairs bathroom and laundry room. Looking back, I've realized this entire problem could have been avoided if I had just done one thing: run a bath before renting or buying a home.
