May have a water leak in the wall? Noticed the skirting board has warped, and the bathroom door isn't closing properly.

The wall is part of the hallway, from the kitchen to the bathroom, and at either end the carpet is wet af. Like, I touch it and my hand may as well have been under a tap.

I don't fucking need this right now. I don't care that my LL would have to fix it, I just don't want them to kick us out while they do it. ARGHHHHHH!

I might be a fairly simple fix. Plumbers have sonic leak detection kits that can pretty much pinpoint where the leaks are. Cut open the wall, cut and rejoin the pipes, fix up wall.

We had one a while back and took the bloke about an hour to do it.

That is a relief! I hope it is that simple! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Likely a shower leak if its near the bathroom. Had this on the wall behind the shower. Was a super simple fix, just a problem with the tap. Regrouted the shower just to be sure and that was a simple day job.
