Hi. How can I tell if a basement has flooded or had water in it? Are there certain signs of water damage?

Look for water stains, musty odors, mold, warped baseboards, or recent patching/paint.

A good inspector will be able to give you a pretty good idea if the basement has flooded. Some states require that the seller disclose information like that if they know about it. But I revert back to an inspector with experience, they are your best option.
