Leaks from spouts, pipes, or corroded connections under sinks can cause moisture issues like rot if unaddressed. Regular bathroom maintenance includes checking for signs of dampness, loose tiles around showers, and inspecting under sinks for pipe problems. Slow drains may be cleared by cleaning the drain cover and grill.
