Signs to look for

A pet keeps returning to the same spot on the floor
With steady care, dogs and cats find damp long before people do, and they lie on cool surfaces.
The floor sounds different when you walk across it
From the first walkthrough, a dull or hollow note underfoot means the layers below have separated or softened.
Interior doors and drawers stopped closing properly
As we protect the property, wood swells as it takes on moisture, so latches misalign and drawers bind in humid conditions.
