I've stepped back from writing for a few days so we could deal with the water damage we came home to, and to give some time to my family.
Ends up, a copper pipe in the wall between the master closet and bath had a slow leak due to the pipe rubbing on the foundation. The carpet is ripped out, wet sheetrock removed, room thoroughly dried by big fans, and new flooring will go down in the coming days.
