First of all, we have no pets and our foundation is cement. Our home was built in the late 80s.
I noticed my carpet was wet near where the area the AC/filter are housed, but didn't notice any leaks in the closet or behind the filter. I also saw no leaks on the roof and when I applied pressure the the spot, it got wetter. Tonight I found another wet spot in my son's room near his closet nowhere near a water source. We're in Oklahoma where we've had the record setting hot Summer and the A/C is running all the time. Is it possible this could be happening from the moisture in the air?
Also, we bought our house two years ago and noticed a similar situation in a hallway a few months after moving in. We used a shop vac to suck up the water and it never came back. We assumed that spot may be leaking from the bathroom, but never noticed more water after that.
Any suggestions? I definitely want to try the shop vac method again over the weekend before calling someone.
Also, the AC unit was completely replaced one year ago - and I mean EVERYTHING was completely replaced. So I hate to think something on the indoor part of the unit within that closet is busted.
And, by the way, our water heater is in the garage quite far from these spots.
