I have gutters around the entire house. Today we had a professional inspection. He tested various areas of the room penetrating the carpet with a special tool. He found evidence of water beyond the normal amount to expect. Apparently concrete always has a slight moisture presence. He inspected the exterior of the house and the windows. Then he pulled back the carpeting and, it appears the water is seeping in from cracks in the concrete. I had planned on replacing the carpeting sometime with wood but now not sure that is a safe choice.

LadyDi, you know just to be safe I would have the right people come in & see if it MIGHT be a sink hole Starting under your home. I don’t think they’re would be no damage or repairs for just checking. They have equipment that either Xrays or uses sound waves to see if ground is settling under your house & it maybe be nothing. No use bandaids fixing it because it might be a waste of money. But could be a disaster if your house falls into a hole. Hope you have a follow up letting us know what you found. Hope your findings were the grandkids spilling water, LOL.
