ventilation
" Traces of pests Now (see pests).
Walls
Now (cause and remedy should be investigated, see
moisture damages).
Now (it can be easy to fix by making more ventilation
holes).
Color that bulges / has released Now / later (see moisture damages).
" cracks Now / later (see cracks).
Floor

Floor paint / carpet bulges / has
