You can buy a water leak detector for less than a pizza dinner. These little wizards beep when they sense moisture, saving you from a flood. Stick one under your washing machine or near the water heater. It’s like having a tiny lifeguard on duty.
But don’t forget the grandma method: a fresh paper towel. Wipe under pipes and check back in an hour. If the towel is wet, you’ve got a leak. It’s old-fashioned, but it works every time. Why? Because paper towels are honest.
