Examine in great depth (5)

I believe the answer is:

plumb

(Other definitions for plumb that I've seen before include "Lead weight; exactly" , "Exactly - . . . . . in the middle" , "Check depth of water below" , "Take soundings at sea" , "For Americans, quite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
