Question

I have just replace a wall in my house.Now there is something brown looking leaking out of the open holes in the sheetrock. It kinda looks like a trail a snail may leave.I pulled some of the carpet up and there isn't any water at the bottom of the floor.I have no clue what is causing this. If anyone has any idea please help.

Answer 1

Sounds like you have a moisture problem and possibly even a mold problem.   I suspect a leaky roof and its soaking down the wall.  Go into the attic to investigate.  the wall is toast, it sounds too damaged to keep, rip it out and replace with fresh drywall after you have figured out the source of the leak.

Answer 2

get an exorcist maybe?
