Thanks for the summary.

I don't know why I couldn't (and still can't) see those other replies. I
tried "catching up" with the newsgroup AND "synchronizing" the group. I now
have headers going back 6 months but no other responses to this thread.
Strange.

I also made 2 replies tonight - yet I only see one. Makes me wonder if
there's a problem with my NG server.

Anyway, I understand about looking into the walls in this case. It's just
one of those cases where the work involved in screwing up the baseboards and
all DW in this room could take time that it may not be easy to find, given
many other projects, plus it's unsure just how bad the situation is.

No, I've seen *NO* responses until today, just yours and the one other.

Lazy? Hardly. Just looking for a way to save a ton of time when it's not
necessary. It's best to explore unconventional options.

Cutting it above the baseboard, as you inquired, is the lazy way. In the
long run, it will make more work. To summarize the previous posts, you
must
remove the drywall to assess and properly repair the damage.
