I heard a ticking today. I almost decided that it wasn't important enough to interrupt my work to track down. Sure glad I didn't go that route.
When I investigated further, it was dripping water from the basement ceiling.
When I investigated further yet, half the machine shop in the next room over was flooded from this water dripping.
Got the water shut off so it's not getting any worse, but we still haven't found the break in the line. Dry everywhere up top, but water somehow dripping from the plywood above the floor joists. Still working on it
It's just turning out to be one of those days...
