A tub, toilet, sink, or shower leak above sends water into the floor assembly. Water follows joists and may appear at a light fixture far from the source. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because ceiling drywall, joist insulation, floor underlayment, and paint hold hidden moisture.
