Bought a house 5 months ago. Discovered today that my upstairs bathroom has been leaking into the garage. Just need some help/advice on what to do.

We moved into our first house in June. The garage had some shoddy cabinets installed above the work bench so I didn't even open them since we moved in.

Today I decided to remove the cabinets because I plan to paint the garage, and when I opened the cabinet I see mold. Here's some photos:

I have no experience with mold but I assume this has been happening for a while? I've traced the issue to the bathroom right above that area of the garage. It drips water here anytime the shower or toilet is run in that bathroom. We've obviously stopped using that bathroom now.

So what are my options? I have home warranty for the first year and I have home insurance. Is this the type of thing I would use either of those for? Do I have any recourse against the seller? I genuinely have no idea if it was leaking at closing or (just my luck) it started leaking after I moved in.

As if moving in wasn't expensive enough already.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
