Three useful first steps

Keep the investigation practical and based on what you can observe.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Symptoms are clues, not a diagnosis

A high water bill, damp floor, warm patch, musty odor, or sound of running water may have different causes. Record what you notice and share it with a qualified professional.

When water is actively escaping or damage is worsening, seek prompt professional help. Only use a main shutoff if you can identify and operate it safely.
