I came home from a week-long vacation to find the carpet in the doorway to my bedroom wet. It didn't appear wet at first, but when you step on it, water would seem to seep up from the carpet pad. I discovered by stomping around a bit that the water seems to continue a few feet down the wall. I have no idea where it came from. There is a bathroom on the other side of the wall, but I see no signs of any leakage in there. Could a leaking pipe in the wall cause the carpet in the bedroom to be wet, but show no signs in the bathroom?
And where do I go from here? I have no idea if the problem is still happening or if it was a one time thing. I guess need to get a wet vac and dry the carpet as best as I can and then see if it gets wet again.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? If this is a sign of a larger problem, I know I need to get it taken care of as soon as possible.
