Age alone cannot locate a buried pipe failure. A plumber investigates the source; the drying crew measures its spread.
Winter heating can make a floor feel warm, so temperature alone cannot prove a leak. Plumbing and moisture checks clarify the issue. The homeowner should note when warm flooring or damp carpet first appeared. Accurate dates help explain the loss.
