Maintenance
How to spot pipe leaks before they damage cabinets.
Pipe leaks often begin quietly. A musty smell, swollen cabinet base, bubbling paint, or higher water bill can point to a hidden issue.
Check under sinks, around shutoff valves, behind toilets, and near water heaters. Look for mineral buildup, dark stains, soft wood, or persistent moisture.
- Active dripping or spreading water
- Ceiling stains below bathrooms
- Sudden pressure drops
- Gas smell near appliances
