i feel sick to my stomach
there is a spot in the carpet in the middle of the house that is really wet....pulling the carpet back reveals a wet pad and floor......we've just gone thru a heavy heavy rain since yesterday
i fear this is a foundation problem....
the kitchen is the adjacent room, but no signs of leaks in there (not that i can tell)
Has 1TC been over?
check to see if there are any pools of water around your house that may be coming through the "breath" hole in the brick...
That happened to us a couple years ago after the first heavy rain of the year.
In the middle???????

well, not in the middle....its not too too far from the north wall of the house, but between the north wall and where the wet floor is, is the kitchen and utility room
breathe hole? hmmm
the north side of the house is where we get water pools when it rains......
Slab or basement?
You haven't mentioned any signs of celing damage - did you look?
How close to a wall? Dripping down the wall or in through those stupid weep holes in the bricks they put in the walls down here.
Is it under a light? We had water on the carpet in a closet - dripped down the light fixture so it was in the center of the closet. Found a small leak in the roof after much work.
What kind of warranty do you have? Copy of the inspection?

Basements are rare down here. Mostly in the older homes in the City of Dallas.
How close is the kitchen sink, dishwasher and frig? Thinking broken lines.....

slab
and there is nothing coming from the ceiling
there is a wetbar DIRECTLY next to the wetspot, but we NEVER (ever) use that sink
i'm able to pull the carpet up because it is next to where the tile in the kitchen ends...
Really???? Is there a lot of rock down there???
Check under the wetbar sink anyway.

Are pipes set in the foundation????
Clay, very hard on the foundations in the hot summers and cold winters (when we get a winter).

that i do not know, my guess is yes......which i'm sure means "oh ****"
So...you can pull the carpet and the pad and see the slab? If so, do you see any cracks?
I need to go make a quick speech.....I will be back in a few......
