The place where the water is seeping up between the cracks is under where
I park my bicycle. For years, I put my bike there in the winter when
there was snow on the tires, and it would melt and a lot of water would
spill onto the floor. (offroad knobby tires).
But I stopped doing that last winter, at least since last December I
didn't park my bike indoors when it had snow stuck onto the tires.
I wonder if it's *possible* that water could have pooled in there somehow,
and it seeps up under certain conditions ... Capillary action, and it
shows up on humid days. It would have to have been stored in the flooring or
somewhere in the building structure for many months though. Maybe it's
possible, it's a damp climate here (ny state).
I mentioned the water heater vent goes up to the roof inside an interior
wall near this area - but the water doesn't show up until some distance
from the wall, it definitely looks more like it's under where my bike
sits.
But the underside of the subflooring doesn't show any signs of being wet,
under that area.
