Unexplained wet spot on carpet. This morning even worse. 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. Not saturated just wet spots all over. 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.
Then a couple of days ago i woke up and sat on the couch. This room is on a concrete slab. We tried to dry it up but it has stayed wet for a couple weeks. They also don t have any animals and they themselves weren t wet or sweating.
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. Unexplained water in carpet category. 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. The next occurance was a wet spot on her carpet next to the bed.
Right at the entrance to a room the carpet has a wet spot. A couple of weeks ago i noticed a wet spot on the livingroom carpet about the size of a dinner plate. I automatically smelled a wet spot and it had a very faint odor. 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.
Days later it was completely soaked again. At first we assumed our little boys spilled something. The wife says she feels a huge wet spot in the middle of their bed. 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.
It is on the lower level of a split level house built in 1976. Not bad not urine or beer or anything recognizable but an odor nonetheless. 05 nov 2002 08 23 pst question id. Its on opposite side of all plumbing.
The drawer was not wet nor was anything in the drawer above it nor was any part of the dresser. Family and home home asked by. Then last night it seemed like there were a few more spots. They have a young son im not sure of his age.
