Water damage that cannot be seen during a home inspection

Here’s an example of some basement wetness caused by a plumbing leak. While the carpet was wet, the wall appeared dry to the touch. The infrared photo shows that the water had wicked up the wall approximately 2 ft. This was confirmed with a moisture meter. This hidden damage would have been missed by most home inspectors.
