Back around 2002, I painted a bedroom with a water-based eggshell

something is leaching out and running down the trim. It is water
soluble, I can wipe it away. See the link below for the image.
Anyone know why this happens?

Ive seen this in a house made of concrete block...fill dirt had been
brought into the yard and the soil level was actually above the
concrete slab floor by about 6 inches on one end of the house.

That's a choice, depending where room is. Water from foundation, leaky
pipe or leaky roof should cover all the bases. OTOH, I had water in a
powder room once and it turned out to be from a leaky water bottle in
pantry behind the powder room.
