After fifteen years, of course the house got "weathered" I wouldn't want it on a bet now.

I think the best way to fix the water damage problem is to hire a professional water damage contractor. I found Dryfast and used their services 2 years ago. They performed the best water removal.

if the water didn't get in, then critters probably did. After 15 years, there's a good chance that something drastic has happened inside this house. If you buy it, expect to completely gut it.

Being proactive is always a better approach in this type of scenarios. In case you don't want to correct the problem before taking a decision, there are a few ways to detect and assess water damage in a home. According to this plumbing specialist site http://thefloodfighters.com/faq/water-damage/how-do-i-assess-the-severity-of-the-water-damage/ you can look for water accumulations and stains in walls, ceiling and floors.
More complex and internal water damage problems can only be detected by the smell of mold and mildew. If you really want to assess the severity of water damage it is always recommended to call professionals. Good luck!

if your thinking of buying this house the holes need to be covered soon because water if left can cause black mold
