How wall cavities get wet
Plumbing leaks, roof or exterior water intrusion, condensation, and prior flooding can introduce moisture behind drywall. Because the cavity is enclosed, materials may dry more slowly than exposed surfaces.
Clues that deserve investigation
Recurring stains, soft drywall, bubbling paint, musty odors, or a known leak behind the wall can justify further evaluation. None of these clues alone proves the exact extent of contamination.
Why the wall may need to be opened
When affected porous materials are inside the cavity, access may be necessary to understand the scope and remove material that cannot be adequately cleaned. The appropriate amount of demolition depends on what is actually affected.
