Use a tape measure and do the math. A level can approximate it - but to be sure you should measure in several spots and look for the correct drop (former licensed plumber talkin'). As far as the OP - knowing the brand would help. It also would help to know if you are on a well of if it is domestic water. Another common issue in older houses is the service stop under the sink could be a problem. The rubber washers get hard with age and sometimes break apart, clogging the aerator (which would have shown up when you pulled it apart to check the screen.Hello all, had a quick question about plumbing tools. I wanted to know what tool is used to measure for the 1/4" drop per foot on a drain line? Do they make a level specifically for this purpose or do you just take a 2 foot level and and stick a 1/2" piece of wood under one end to check for 1/4" drop over a 2' span? Any info offered will be appreciated.
Use a grade level, if you can find one. Those have a threaded stud to set your needed drop. But most plumbers use lasers now.Hello all, had a quick question about plumbing tools.

A slight increase is OK - too much of a drop can leave "residue" behind and cause a blockage.i just use a regular level. Easy to eyeball the grade. More is better than minimum anyway.
