Wet Spot On Carpet Upstairs

The temporary fix was to rip up the carpet knock a hole in the concrete slab repair the leaking pipe fill in the hole with quickcrete cement and restretch the carpet once it and the pad had dried.

Wet spot on carpet upstairs.

This morning even worse. This faces front of house. I didn t think much of it i figured i had perhaps spilled water and not noticed. Then it s time to extract the water from the carpet.

Just noticed when cleaning and moved couch. This is on first floor in living room facing front. My parents used to rent it out to a family for 10 years and when we moved in there was very little upkeep done so the last year has been a series of fixing problems as they arise usually simple. This could be in the form of a wet spot a stain or perhaps even the leak itself.

Doesn t smell bad either. If you still can t find a likely source then sort of a devil s choice you could call either a roofer or a plumber and hope they find the source given about a 50 50 chance of chosing the one you need to. Plumber leak detector guy found it the water migrated to the spot somehow from the opposite side of the closet without making the closest wall wet at all or the carpet along the way. Then last night it seemed like there were a few more spots.

No visible wall damage and area around it seems to be dry. Again many people think that standing water is due to it coming through the floor and while it might have you must also check the ceiling. In my living room nowhere near a window about 4 ft away from my front door and 3 ft away from wall i noticed a damp spot on the floor. Is a small area and is away from bathroom kitchen etc.

Two nights ago i noticed one small wet spot probably 3x3 inches or so on my carpet. Within a week or so the damp spot progressed to a puddle 4 by 6 feet that a wet vac couldn t really keep up with. When i stepped on it it got wetter so i used my carpet cleaner to suck up all the water and noticed 10 min later it was just a wet. Check your entire ceiling not just the surrounding area of.

So first look for any signs on the ceiling for water damage. We have noticed a wet spot on the carpet between the bedroom and the living room it s always damp. Continually wet spot on our carpet my wife and i moved into a house about one year ago. Upstairs is one unit and downstairs is the other.

Its on opposite side of all plumbing. If not you ll have to buy several gfci equipped extension cords and run power from upstairs receptacles. Don t waste your time trying to dry out the carpet with a wet dry shop vacuum it simply doesn t have enough power.
