Forgot to mention, you need to find the source of the moisture that caused the mold in first, and make sure it's fixed.

However I didn't see any evidence of moisture, and didn't hear any drips behind walls, but it was in the back of my mind.On the third night after I got home I was exhausted and fell asleep, some time around 4am for whatever reason I can't explain, it clicked and I knew it must be a running garden hose.

I thought it would be small, turns out it's not and is actually a moisture issue causing the wood floor to buckle.

But after reading another post on here about smells emanating from the crawl space.I am wondering now is it more than just smokers smell.It doesent smell like moisture. but I can now tell it is coming from an area between the kitchen and the living room there is a boiler there with a leak. the catch pan is full so most likely the boiler was leaking into the crawl space.as the catch pan over flows.However when I open the door to where the boiler is there is absolutely no smell in there.

Please understand that this response is based on you NOT stating that there was a water leak, window leak, or some other obvious source of moisture.

Mold and mildew in closets are common problems at the coast because of moisture and stagnant air, but building damage from water penetration is just as common.

i have one of those flex lines that is normally used for the dryer that's used for the bath exhaust fan. and sure enough, once a year (winter) it gets clogged with water since there is a dip in the pipe.if they go straight up or have no kinks, they are ok to be used for bath air (that has moisture). but with kinks, it builds up. so i just changed it to solid alum pipe (2 ft sections sold at HD) and will never have a problem again.so, depends on what you have. you might have AC unit in there and that's why it's dripping.

Roof leaks and windows leak moisture that runs down and damages floor areas by the windows.

I imagine if you started looking over the home you'd have to repair the roof, and even though I could not see any damage, there may be some issues with mold or otherwise owing to the existence of moisture from the operation.

The most pressing include a leaking main water pipe in the crawlspace, several dead outlets, non-grounded outlets and non covered outlets, a loose shower liner/insert that has caused mold and moisture damage on the bathroom sheetrock (there is no vent/fan in there), and the carport and porch roof are leaking.
