not being aware of the shape and construction of your home I can only generalize. Depending on how long this has been happening and how much moisture is leaking in you could have serious damage or at least some formation of mold. I would suggest finding the point of entry on the exterior wall and repairing and recaulking any damage first. Then wall covering will need to be opened and an inspection made to determine how to proceed. If major damage has occurred you would usually want a qualified professional to inspect and repair it. The door is open on how to remove minor mold damage from simple soap and water and bleach to a full-blown, and expensive mold removal professional. Check your local codes to see what restrictions apply to your situation. Good luck.

Water leaks can be tricky. If water is visible on a wall then it could be necessary to cut into the wall to find a leak. Listening in a very quiet house may allow you to hear a spraying leak.

Turn them on one at a time and watch until the meter tons again. There is your leak.
