Why Is My Floor Wet When There's No Sink or Water Fixture Around?

When you notice that your floor is wet, even though there isn’t a sink or water fixture nearby, it can be quite confusing. You may clean it up, without thinking anything of it. However, if you come back and notice that there is more water on the floor, it is time to get it taken care of. Most of the time, if you have water on the floor, you are going to need to hire a professional plumber. You are probably not going to be able to fix it yourself.

When it comes to water on the floor, it often comes down to two simple things. Let’s determine the 2 problems that you’re likely facing.

Water pipe slab leak. When we are talking about a water pipe slab leak, this means that you have a leak in the pipes in your home (or below the foundation). This happens due to corrosion over time. You may also have slab leaks if your plumbing wasn’t installed properly or you have pipes that are rubbing against each other or another material that can damage them. This can also happen when your pipes are exposed to hot and cold temperatures.

Underground waste pipe leak. These leaks happen when one of your sewer pipes break. Instead of taking the sewage away from your home, it can get backed up into your home. This can quickly become an emergency so it is important that you get your pipes checked out right away.
