Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Nov 08, 2012Ideally you need to rip out anything that has been wet and or damaged first. Then assess all the issues before you put in anything new. I sent you an email with my number. Call me and I will explain it in more detail.Helpful Reply

Wishful creation and designs on Nov 09, 2012im afraidthat water is always going to be a problem.whats important is to demo alll the wet sheetrock so you can expose the studs in the walls and get them dried out befor said mold can get away from you .and since your on a slab those are to me to be more important to me then yes get a mold eterant before you remodle and sorry about your damages.we dont get hit with much of that in oregon.Helpful Reply

Kathleen M on Nov 10, 2012@Woodbridge Environmental aka Bob, Thanks for your msg and offer of help, My husband will be calling you this morning. Last four digits of phone number is 0875 his name is Rich. @Wishful creation and design.... thank you also. Our damages are really nothing compared to what we are surrounded by, It's like living in a war zone just three streets from my house~ some people don't even have homes left or what is left has been condemned :( and some homes are just missing along with boats, jet skis... a mess. Water is a powerful thing that is for sure. Hardest part was losing mementos and photographs.... 35 years worth of photos... that was hard but everything else is just inconvenience in the grand scope of things.Helpful Reply

Hotheadzmarine.williamson on Apr 14, 2015Seriously I would not take any chances. Remove anything that got wet.. trust me we purchased a home that had water damage that was not repaired or disclosed. . And now we have to gut the entire house due to mold growing between the sheetrock and brick walls you couldn't see. You can by a moisture meter at lowes to test but.. beware nothing is full proof. . Had a Mold co. Come out and found nothing after being sick.. and we decided to rip out a wall and there it was.🚑Helpful Reply
