Possible Water Damage On Hardwood Floors?
Recently purchased a home originally built in the 60s but was renovated before sold to us. It sits on a crawlspace that runs the length of the house. During the inspection the inspector did make a note that there was moderate levels of moisture in the floor joists but not elevated enough to red flag it.
We have now started taking note of some discolorations in the hardwood floors and were wondering if it is possible water damage from the floor joists or just discoloration in the grain. There are multiple spots in the house that have these darker spots in the grain but nothing that points to typical water damage (large dark circles, raised floor planks, soft to the touch).
Is it possible this is just discoloration or should we be concerned the floor joists are seeping into the hardwood?
