Wet Spot On Carpet Upstairs

This morning even worse.

Wet spot on carpet upstairs.

Within a week or so the damp spot progressed to a puddle 4 by 6 feet that a wet vac couldn t really keep up with. This is on first floor in living room facing front. This could be in the form of a wet spot a stain or perhaps even the leak itself. So first look for any signs on the ceiling for water damage.

Its on opposite side of all plumbing. Just noticed when cleaning and moved couch. Upstairs is one unit and downstairs is the other. Track it from the wet carpet assuming this is real recent so wood insulation would still be wet up or horizontally to where the leak is.

Why would there be water on my carpet in corner of room. If you still can t find a likely source then sort of a devil s choice you could call either a roofer or a plumber and hope they find the source given about a 50 50 chance of chosing the one you need to. When i stepped on it it got wetter so i used my carpet cleaner to suck up all the water and noticed 10 min later it was just a wet. If not you ll have to buy several gfci equipped extension cords and run power from upstairs receptacles.

No visible wall damage and area around it seems to be dry. My parents used to rent it out to a family for 10 years and when we moved in there was very little upkeep done so the last year has been a series of fixing problems as they arise usually simple. Again many people think that standing water is due to it coming through the floor and while it might have you must also check the ceiling. Doesn t smell bad either.

Is a small area and is away from bathroom kitchen etc. Continually wet spot on our carpet my wife and i moved into a house about one year ago. In my living room nowhere near a window about 4 ft away from my front door and 3 ft away from wall i noticed a damp spot on the floor. The temporary fix was to rip up the carpet knock a hole in the concrete slab repair the leaking pipe fill in the hole with quickcrete cement and restretch the carpet once it and the pad had dried.

Seems like a small spot. Then it s time to extract the water from the carpet. Plumber leak detector guy found it the water migrated to the spot somehow from the opposite side of the closet without making the closest wall wet at all or the carpet along the way. Then last night it seemed like there were a few more spots.

Don t waste your time trying to dry out the carpet with a wet dry shop vacuum it simply doesn t have enough power. I didn t think much of it i figured i had perhaps spilled water and not noticed. We have noticed a wet spot on the carpet between the bedroom and the living room it s always damp.
