    Yellow stains on bathroom floor
    I'm hoping that there is a simple way to find out if there are leaks under my bathroom floor. These yellow stains keep reappearring,no matter how many times I scrub them off. Also, there is a musty smell in the air and it is always
    VERY humid. I think perhaps this isn't healthy for me, as I have a brain infection/
    Disorder already... Any help would be appreciated

    There should be a access panel behind the tub drain in the next room. Open it up and look for moisture. Is your ceiling spotted under the bath? Perhaps the only way you'll be able to track it down is to open up the ceiling and check. You're correct,mold is bad for your health and this should be looked into at once. Let me know what you fin.
