Check sinks, toilets and appliance supply lines for leaks
Look for dampness at fixtures and accessible supply connections.
Why it matters
Water can travel away from the source, so a quick whole-home scan can reveal issues early.
Steps
- Check under sinks and around toilets for moisture or staining.
- Inspect accessible washer, dishwasher, refrigerator and water-heater connections without moving heavy equipment.
- Check ceilings and floors for new stains. Record what you find; contact a plumber for unexplained moisture.
How often should I check sinks, toilets and appliance supply lines for leaks?
Monthly is the planning default. Follow your equipment instructions and act sooner on a fault.
