Examine Walls for Buckling or Warping

Examine Walls for Buckling or Warping

Prior to painting or putting up wallpaper, walls must be in good condition. Checking for wall straightness and flatness allows these cosmetic upgrades to be put in place without further remediation.

How to Locate Moisture in a House?

  • Walls should be inspected for bowing, buckling, or warping. Use a straightedge or tape measure if there is an issue.
  • Check for moisture using a moisture meter. This step may need to be done by a professional.

If moisture is present, the source should be found. Unfortunately, the source may be difficult to pinpoint, and a professional may be needed to help. Signs of excessive moisture include:

  • Mold
  • Water stains
  • Buckling or warping walls
  • Musty odors
