Water Stains: Check ceilings, walls, and floors for water stains or discoloration, which may indicate that rainwater has penetrated the building envelope.

Dampness or Moisture: Feel for dampness or moisture on surfaces such as walls, floors, carpets, and upholstery, as well as in basements, crawl spaces, and attics.

Peeling or Bubbling Paint: Examine painted surfaces for signs of peeling, bubbling, or blistering, as these may result from water infiltration behind the paint layers.

Warped or Buckled Materials: Look for signs of warping, buckling, or swelling in materials such as wood flooring, drywall, and baseboards, which can occur when they absorb moisture.

Visible Mold or Mildew: Inspect areas prone to moisture accumulation, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, for visible mold or mildew growth.

Deterioration of Materials: Notice any decline or degradation of building materials, including rotting wood, crumbling drywall, or rusting metal, which may indicate prolonged exposure to moisture.

Clogged or Overflowing Gutters: Check gutters, downspouts, and roof drainage systems for signs of clogging or overflowing, as these can contribute to rainwater intrusion into the building.
