    You have a leak somewhere in the walls. You'll find it as soon as the water starts ruining your floors or better yet ruins the ceiling below where the leak is. Hearing leaks spells trouble and they need to be investigated before they get out of hand.

    Do you have PVC drain pipes, the white plastic drains? When you say you hear water running do you mean the sound of a supply pipe or a drain pipe?
