A bathroom sink may drip into a vanity for days before water appears on the tile or vinyl floor. The back of the cabinet, baseboard, and wall cavity can stay damp even after the faucet is off. In an upstairs bathroom, water may also pass through the floor around pipe openings and stain the room below.
