Water Leak Signs
Water, Water Everywhere! Look for clues that will warn you to contact local plumber professional before a water plumbing problem become permanent....
Water Stains: The source of water is most likely outside if stains are around windows or doors. Your roof is almost certainly the culprit if stains are on the ceiling. unless you have a bathroom, laundry area or kitchen right above. But also know the source of the leak isn't necessarily right above the stain. Water stains around your plumbing fixtures usually mean there is a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.
Structural Indicators: If your floor begins to buckle - even slightly - this is compelling evidence that water is somewhere it doesn't belong. Hardwood floors show a presence of moisture with cupping around the tongue-and-groove joints. Around bathrooms, be especially leery of any areas where water damage may occur from a splashing shower, or even from people simply stepping out and dripping on the floor. Drywall will reveal water damage by becoming discolored and swollen.
