How Do Inspectors Identify Water Damage? 

• Watermarks on the ceiling: Water stains left on the ceiling typically point to damaged pipe or roof leaks.
• Discolored walls and cracking drywall: The drywall needs to be dry at all times. But when it’s exposed to water, it can begin to warp and rot over time. Remain vigilant for yellowish-brown stains in addition to ribboning wallpaper or paint.
• Mold or mildew: Mildewy walls can indicate that there’s a major underlying issue. It could mean you have a leaky pipe that is that’s damaging the drywall and insulation.
• Warping: Bumpy floors can indicate too much moisture beneath your floorboards or an issue with your foundation.
• Rust stains: Seeing rust stains can be indicative of exposure to moisture for a period of time.
• Bad odors: A squalid smell can suggest shoddy ventilation among other problems.
