How to Detect a Bathroom Leak Before It’s Too Late

Bathroom leaks are among the most common — and most damaging — household water leaks. Here’s how to spot them early.

Common Signs

• Musty smell in or near the bathroom
• Loose or buckling floor tiles
• Stains on the ceiling below a second-floor bathroom
• Mold growth around the tub, shower, or toilet base
• Constantly running toilet

Where Bathroom Leaks Hide

Behind shower walls, under bathtubs, at toilet wax ring seals, at supply line connections, and in shower pan membranes. These leaks can run for months before becoming visible.
