The ceiling, walls, floors will be wet, and you could also see water staining. You can also see mold growth on an area that has been wet for a short period of time.

If you cannot visibly see the damage then you should order a house inspection, or talk to your home owners insurance company about this situation.

Possibly, but the supply lines should be in the wall. Even on a slab house, the water should come into the house at the water heater and then be in the walls. Possible heat vent leak? I'm assuming a slab house because if there was access underneath, you would be able to tell if there was a leak.

What could cause a constant loud whooshing sound in the water pipes like rushing water even when faucets are closed and there is no water leak anywhere?

You may have a leak you dont know about. Check with the Water Utility - somtimes they will come out for free. Yep, they will. If you hear water and nothing is turned on, you have a leak. Shut off your water from inside your house (shut-off is located where your water line enters the house). If the whooshing goes away, the leak is inside your house somewhere. If it still makes the sound, the Water Utility will shut off the curb stop. If the whooshing stops, then the leak is between the curb stop and your main shut off (ie. there's a leak in your main service line coming into your house). In general, it will be your responsibility to make this repair as it is on your side of the curbstop. If the sound persists, it is coming from the public water main and Water /utility Crews will locate with a stethoscope and make the repair at no cost to you.


Why does pump run when water is not in use?

You have a leak (maybe a toilet) in the house, or between the house and the well. It could also be a leak in the pipes in the well. The last thing would be a leaky checkvalve. A waterlogged tank will make it seem like a larger leak because of the small amount of water it takes to turn the pump on and off.
