Start here

Do these checks first.

Simple checks can help you understand whether the issue is a leak, blockage, pressure change, tap fault or fixture-specific problem.

Stop using the bathroom fixtures above the leak if safe to do so.

Note whether the mark appears after bath, shower, basin or toilet use.

Keep away from electrics and light fittings near the wet area.

Place a container only where safe if water is actively dripping.

Useful clues

The aim is not to diagnose the plumbing fault from the sofa. It is to describe the visible pattern clearly and safely.

✓Timing matters: after shower use, after bath draining or after toilet flushing.

✓A spreading stain is more urgent than an old dry mark.

✓The room directly above should be mentioned if known.

Avoid this

!Do not keep testing fixtures above the stain.

!Do not touch wet electrics or light fittings.

!Do not send only a ceiling close-up without the bathroom context if available.

More urgent signs

→Water is dripping actively.

→The mark spreads quickly.

→Water is near electrics, lights or sockets.
