Mold on blank basement drywall. What do i.do?
I am getting mold in a partially finished basement. It is on the bottom edge of a one sided drywall wall. The wall is near a sump pump. Is there any thing that I can treat the wall with to clean and then prevent reoccurrence. If no, would a dehumidifier help? Thanks in advance for any consideration that this might receive.

There is a mold killer spray you can get in home improvement stores. I'd try some of that to clean it up. Let it dry completely and paint with a good mold resistant primer. A dehumidifier would help prevent a reoccurrence too. Avoid stacking anything near the problem wall to keep air circulating well. Good luck!

You paint the wall with paint that has a mold inhibitor in it.
