Some places are perfect breeding grounds for chaos. A leaking appliance might be a charismatic villain we often slap attention on, but they usually have hidden sidekicks. Think of old plumbing, loose tiles, and kitchen/bathroom fixture gaps. These seemingly minor issues can cause water to seep into the hidden corners, slowly but steadily causing damage. Pay close attention to these areas, and fix whatever you can on your own or with the help of a professional.
