Water under laminate - unknown source

hobbeskat

Water has been coming up from our laminate flooring. We have removed the flooring now and still aren't sure of the cause. A plumber said there's no pipes under the floor and round by the radiator is dry.

Our dishwasher was leaking internally for a while but when pulled out was dry.

Another possibility is the DPC breaching the patio but a property maintenance friend looked and said this didn't seem to be the case.

So we're at a loss. We don't know who to call or what to do and whether to claim on insurance which has £300 for water damage.

Pics attached.

Under the door frame??

Spillage from dog bowl?

The bowl is spilled there cos I knocked it. There is a lot of water and moisture. More pics.

Door frame is a good suggestion. Is the door in a position where it faces a lot of weather? If so, has a seal around the frame failed? Are the drainage holes sometimes drilled in the frame blocked?

If that picture is the piece you have lifted from the RHS of the door frame as you look at it: it clearly has ingress at the door frame.

Im another for thinking its the door frame.

I have to agree with the others, given the position of the door relative to the damp problem this would be the first place I'd be looking at.

Old uPVC doors are notorious for leaks!

Bit of a random suggestion, but do you have concrete floors underneath the wood.


The water may be leaking somewhere remote and travelling,


What about the boiler? where is that located?



What about that radiator in the picture, anything leaking from that?

Fridge, is your fridge needing defrosting, mine is old and leaks on the floor when it feels like it...

Dry the floor thoroughly, then with door shut,apply water to the door using a hose pipe.

Have someone positioned inside by door and see if any water enters.
