Visual clues
Look for new staining, bubbling or peeling paint, swollen trim, warped flooring, soft drywall, discolored ceiling areas or changes around cabinets and baseboards.
Odor and humidity clues
A persistent musty smell or a room that feels unusually humid after a leak can justify further moisture investigation.
Changes in materials
Wood products can swell or cup; drywall can soften or sag; adhesives can release; insulation can stay wet inside a cavity.
Why the source matters
Finding moisture is only half the problem. The plumbing, appliance, roof, drain or other source has to be corrected so the area does not keep getting wet.
