Has anyone actually found the source of the shift when their sink goes off-center? I get the concern about water damage, but sometimes it feels like things just settle weird in older houses. My bathroom floor’s not perfectly level, and I’ve noticed the vanity creeping a bit over the years—no leaks or smells, just gravity doing its thing, I guess.
I’m curious if folks have opened up the wall or floor and found actual rot or mold, or if it was just a cosmetic issue. Like, is it always a hidden leak, or can it just be cheap materials warping over time? I’m all for fixing stuff before it gets worse, but I hate tearing things apart if it’s not necessary.
Also, if you do decide to fix it early, what’s the least invasive way to check for water damage without ripping out half the bathroom? I’ve heard of moisture meters but never tried one. Are they worth it, or is it just easier to look for soft spots and hope for the best?
Just trying to figure out if I should be worried about my own slightly crooked sink...
