01

Watch for change, not only dripping

Soft flooring, loose tile, swollen furniture, dark silicone, a musty smell or a mark on the ceiling below can all justify a closer check.

02

Separate supply, waste and splash leaks

A supply leak may continue when fittings are unused. A waste leak appears when water drains. Failed seals often show only during a shower or when water reaches one edge.

03

Limit damage before decorating

Stop using the affected fitting where safe, isolate water if needed and protect the area below. Find and repair the route before covering a stain or replacing surface sealant.

What to remember

Use when-and-where observations to narrow the leak, then repair the source before the visible damage.
