    Rust colored water showing up in back left corner of basement, no leaky pipes
    I have rust colored water showing up in the back left corner of my basement, I've run the washer and every faucet in the house, flushed the toilet but I can't find any leaky pipes. Every morning there is a 3' puddle of water waiting for me. All I've done is mop up the water and run a dehumidifier because I can't find the source of the leak. I'm 31 and I live in Erie County NY.

    Any heavy rains lately? Pump or city water? What material are the pipes? Copper, galvanized, or plastic? Does the water pool up in a low spot? Can you give any more information? Back to you, Tom
