Not roof leak drip-down, as ceiling is dry, unstained, and perfect.
Have a condo across town, 1050 sq ft slab construction, single story ground floor only in bldg with four such condos. Last October, residents experienced a wet spot in bedroom carpet about 1x1' and thought it was pet dog accident, although no odor or tint but the dog was terminally ill and experiencing unusual urinary results. Never happened again. Until last week. No dog now and it has progressed from 1x1' last week to 5x5' as of lastnight. Carpet and pad taken up, saturated, removed from condo. No visible cracking or apparent problems with slab. Plumber called this morning, will see what they say.
Condo built 2008, only one year of occupancy 2011 - 2012 before I bought it 2015, been occupied since. Blueprints not available.
Have had excessive rainfall this year and lot adjacent to bedroom does get some standing water on heavy downpours. All exterior maintenance and grading upkeep etc are responsibility of Condo Association. Residents advise gutters do not appear to be overflowing in heavy rain and putting water onto foundation, and even if so, that would be on Condo Assoc to maintain.
This would seem to be either water incursion from poor foundation grading or more likely and unfortunately for me, possible rupture of a supply line but with the incident in Oct and then no problems until last week it doesn't seem possible to be a plumbing fixture.
Thought about obstructed drain or pipe, but seems unlikely? Seems it would take pressure to push the water up to surface of slab.
