Discoloration on ceilings
I would like a little help on a recent problem. The interior of the clients home has a dark discoloration showing on every truss and drywall nail. It was checked for mold growth (negative) and the attic is well vented with no problems. Heat is Cadet in-wall units which have been cleaned. Any suggestions?

Just to clarify - discoloration on every truss nail and drywall nail, or are the trusses themselves kind of outlined on the ceiling.
