What are signs that water leak problems exist in my home?

Visible water anywhere in a home—pooling at a window or wall, leaking down a wall, or dripping from a ceiling—is a clear sign of a water leak problem. However, even where there is no visible water appearing, there are other signs that a water leak may exist. Signs of a moisture problem to look out for:

  • Bubbling or cracking paint;
  • Stains on baseboards, drywall, or ceilings;
  • Rotting wood;
  • Water dripping or staining at top of window;
  • Water pooling at base of window;
  • Separating, buckling, or cupping hardwood flooring;
