Mold Removal?
First time home owner, been in the new house for just a few weeks. We pulled a baseboard in the basement and found mold on the wall underneath (pic 1). We cut the affected drywall out on both sides of the wall (pic 2). We also spritzed the studs and exposed subfloor with a 1:1 vinegar/water solution, let it sit for an hour and wiped it away three times. We’re pretty certain the cause was a backup from the washroom drain (also pic 2). Question: are the rest of the pictures concerning enough to tear out and replace the stud and/or subfloor? I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking at. submitted by /u/Iohra [link] [comments]
