Give the wall near your tub or toilet a gentle push with your palm. If it feels soft, spongy, or gives way slightly, moisture has likely damaged the drywall. You can also tap the surface—a solid, hard sound means it's dry, while a dull thud or crumbly texture indicates rot. Probe around the base or corners with a screwdriver; if it sinks in easily, you've found water damage that needs repair before mold sets in.
