Wood floors that cup or separate have absorbed water. Caught early, controlled drying can often save the boards.
Bubbling or Peeling Paint
Paint that blisters or peels away from the wall has moisture underneath. Repainting before it dries only hides the problem.
Puddles Around Appliances or Toilets
Standing water near the water heater, washing machine or toilet base means a hose, valve or seal is leaking.
