Hello Experts!
About a month or so ago we started noticing the bottom of the vanity was warping. We thought it may have possibly been from water damage from a repair we had done back in 2022 (clogged drain and rerouting of HVAC condensate drain line). We opened it up and to our surprise their was moisture on the base boards supporting the vanity cabinet (failed moisture meter test). Before trying to repair/replace the bottom base, we let it sit out for a week to dry out. Took a few days, and now moisture meter reads dry (between 10-12%).
My question is, could potential moisture be "trapped" underneath here since 2022, and opening it up to dry it out was the only thing necessary? Or is there something else I might be missing to determine the root cause of the moisture. I would think it "should" have dried out after 2 years, so my initial thought was the moisture may be from another source (behind the plumbing on the wall?).
Open to suggestions or ideas before we hire someone to open up the wall just to inspect. See photos below. Thanks!
