Hi, Bought new construction in Feb. In one of the bedrooms that is not used, we noticed a spot on the wall today. It looks like a wet spot but it doesn't feel wet or moist or spongy at all. We only go in this room about once a week so it could've been there for a couple days. It's on the top floor. No bathrooms or water sources anywhere near this room. Anyone have ways i could check what it is without cutting a hole in the drywall?
I'm pretty new to this so pardon my ignorance, but how did you come to that conclusion? We've been living in this house for 2 months now and the spot wasn't there until a couple days ago. Why would paint mismatch suddenly appear now?
Have you had a contractor in there recently? Maybe a contractor was leaning over, bumped his head on the wall and got greasy hair product on it.
I used to sit in class with kids who would lean their heads on the wall/chalkboard and make spots that looked just like that.
Just a thought.
I agree, my first thought was it looked like about the size of a head of greasy hair.
Edited to say: I also see child stuff in the room. Do you have children who can reach that height? Could have been greasy hands smeared around, although it's a little too perfectly oval for that.

Thank you!
If you bought the house that recently from a builder, it should still be under warranty. If you're worried about it being a leak of some kind, have the builder come check it out for free.

Agreed!
And I have to say that my builder has actually been more responsive to these warranty claims than they were during the build itself. At that point, I felt like their highest priority was to just get it done, and now I feel like they actually have customer satisfaction as priority. Hopefully you will have a similarly good experience!
