Identifying Moisture Along Floor and Wall Seams:
Moisture along the seams of floors and walls is often an indication of water intrusion. Some common signs include:

  • Damp or discolored patches along baseboards or walls.
  • Warping or buckling of hardwood or laminate flooring.
  • An unusual musty odor in the affected area.

Any of these could be a sign of a bigger issue including leaking roof, broken or leaking pipe in a wall, or other issue. All Clean Restoration will not only alleviate the problem but get to the source of the water and fix it.
