    wet spot on rug?
    In our bathroom in front of the sink cabinet about 6" is an oval wet spot 10" x 5" & a smaller spot now appearing next to it. The house is on a crawlspace I went under there and could see no leakage in there. I couldn't see any water inlet so I imagine it maybe above the insulation in the crawlspace which I didn't remove. Could this be a drainage leak? Or, should I remove the insulation below this leak and see if I can see anything? Help, need help. Thanks

    Did u check inside the sink cabinet for a wet spot? Check the pipes under sink for wetness also. If nothing is visible, then remove insulation to check in crawl space.

    Let us know the outcome or if this helps.

    Good luck

    I take it that you've already checked the cabinet to see if anything's leaking in there. You have no choice, You're going to have to locate the source of the leak. Go in the crawl space and start looking. Get back to me with the results. Good luck, Tom
