Homes in Raleigh and how they leak

Questions from Raleigh homeowners
My hardwood floors are cupping. Is it the crawl space?
Often. Moisture rising from a damp crawl space swells the underside of the boards. Drying the crawl space usually has to come first.
Do upstairs laundry rooms cause more damage?
When a hose fails, yes. Water runs through the ceiling below. Braided hoses, a drain pan and a leak sensor help.
