Most Florida homeowners don't notice moisture damage until it's already inside the wall.
June and July are the worst months for hidden condensation — and a few spots collect it first, every time.
The corners where your windows meet the drywall. The sill plate beneath a sliding glass door. The inside face of any single-pane glass on an air-conditioned room. These are the places warm, humid outdoor air brushes against a cold interior surface and leaves water behind.
Early warning signs to look for right now:
• Paint bubbling or peeling near window corners
• A faint musty smell that comes and goes
• Soft drywall or discoloration at the sill
• Visible fogging between glass panes
None of these mean your house is ruined. They mean the house is telling you something — and catching it in June beats catching it in October.
Which of these have you spotted in your home this summer?
