Okay,
So The Warranty Department referred me to Mid Florida Restoration Services, who came out and did a free inspection of the house. Stated that the water is coming in from the tiny cracks in the stucco and seeping through the wall and causing the carpets to become wet. She stated simple caulking and painting the small tiny cracks will fix the problem. My house was built in 2013: So, should I just repaint the whole house? Anyone painting stucco after 5 years? She also said probably no mold under carpet, just on tack strip. Her meter read no problem with moisture on baseboards. I guess I will repair the stucco and tear up the carpet and tack strip-peace of mind. I do not want mold on tack strip or anything else in my house.
Someone said there might be a warranty on our exterior paint? I believe settling caused the cracks-she pointed out three small cracks and moisture level is high in those areas around the front of the house.
