To catch soft drywall early, run your hand over the wall around the tub or toilet. If the paint feels spongy or gives way slightly when you press, moisture has seeped in. Look for subtle swelling, peeling paint, or tiny cracks near the base. A musty smell, even faint, often means water damage is already at work. Catching this before visible mold appears saves you from a bigger repair later.
