Ok i'm not sure if this is the right place, but i removed a vanity in my bathroom and found out the side of the shower the wood is rotted as you can see, and then the sink you can see there is an area where they patched but you can see the wood is black or has some black on it.. I spoke with the unit owner below and they said awhile back they had a leak in the shower pan and may sink who knows, it looks like they may have fixed the shower pan leak, but not replaced any of the wood.... I'm a little worried i don't want to do major demo i cant really afford it, to be honest, after purchasing this condo. Any ideas would help me out a lot. thank you.

Hello, Would appreciate some expertise advice here. My family moved into a trilevel house 2 years ago. The house is 29 years old. At that time, there was a small crack on the ceiling by the kitchen light (photo to follow). First winter was rough. Had condensation on all windows except the living room about 4 to 5 times. Typical summer for Chicago land. Second winter we had condensation 1 times on the windows. Now this past spring I noticed the crack by the kitchen light was growing longer, and there appeared to be another crack by the stairwell leading to the upper level. Now we are just wrapping up summer, and there are cracks in the kitchen, the stairwell, and the master bedroom (which is on upper level). There is also what appears to be a slight indentation, like right before the crack appears in the other 2 bedrooms (both on the upper level) and the living room (main level). Is this a humidity and/or moisture issue? All of the cracks on the ceiling appear to be on drywall seams. Here are some pictures. I apologize in advance for the poor photo quality. If you need other pictures or angles, please let me know. [ATTACH]56092[/ATTACH] When you walk into my house, you go down the hallway and are in the kitchen. To the slight left is a staircase going up for the bedrooms and going down for the family on the lower level. [ATTACH]56093[/ATTACH] That is the crack by the eat-in kitchen light. Now it has extended to either side of the light. [ATTACH]56094[/ATTACH] Here is the crack that is on the kitchen ceiling right before you go up the stairs. [ATTACH]56099[/ATTACH] Here is a almost spider web like crack on the ceiling where the two stairwell walls meet. [ATTACH]56101[/ATTACH] Here is the master bedroom crack. It runs almost the length of the room. This one has just happened in the last couple of weeks. It is pretty much hairline at this point. Then there is the issue with the walls. Almost all of the cracks on the walls look like a piece of tape was put at the edge and now that is cracking. It is happening in the opening to the lower level from the kitchen and also in the stairwell. Here are some pictures. [ATTACH]56104[/ATTACH] Here is the opening into the lower level. I am in the family room looking up into the kitchen. You can see the crack is about an inch away from the edge of the wall. [ATTACH]56105[/ATTACH] It goes from the ceiling of the lower level to the floor of the kitchen. [ATTACH]56106[/ATTACH] Also on the ceiling of the lower level, about an inch fom the edge is another crack with nail pops. This crack runs the length of the ceiling for the cutout or pass-through. [ATTACH]56108[/ATTACH] Here is the stairwell. On the one wall it looks like the other wall cracks, about an inch away from the edge. But on the left side of the crack, it looks like an outline of tape? Maybe? [ATTACH]56109[/ATTACH] Then in the corner of the stairwell where the walls meet, a crack has formed. Same for the other side. So we do have an attic and a crawlspace. We had the furnace replaced when we moved in 2 years ago and had a humifier put on the furnace. Thank you very much for your time and hopefully your reply. My husband and I have differing opinions as to what is going on, and I really need some professional opinions. I would hate to bring someone in here if I can fix this myself. Sincerely, MommaK
