With window well, water may pour down the wall and spread under carpet or finished basement flooring. Moisture may remain in window trim, wall board, carpet and subfloor.
A plumber may find the broken supply component, but the leak can spread across several rooms. Moisture readings reveal the cleanup boundary. Adjacent finishes are checked for swelling and trapped water.
