my sump pump failed to come on, and now my basement has flooded, i have a wooden subfloor, my main concern is?
my main concern is future growth of mold, the subfloor is plywood on top of straping then carpet on top, underneath the subfloor is like a tar paper. Do you think this subfloor needs to be ripped out as their is really no way of properly drying it out fully and i can just see it becoming a factory for mold. One problem with the way it's been done is that all the walls have been constructed on top of the subfloor, so it looks like the walls have to come down in order to fully remove the subfloor, i have put a claim in on this to my insurance company. Any suggestions on what is the best way to avoid mold being that the insurance company is involved... any opinion is welcomed
You probably need to rip it out. If the walls are built on top you may be able to cut the center area out and rip the edges out from under the wall. If I wanted to try to keep everything in place the hillbilly in me is thinking re-flood the basement with bleach water then pump it out and get a dehumidifier or two and run them non stop for at least a week.
Sorry to hear about your flood. Hope all goes well.
