There's some black powder in certain spots that spewed out through the gaps. I rubbed it with some paper towel and it feels soft, but not greasy or slimy. It doesn't smell, but google told me that's mold. So now I think I need to get a restoration specialist.
I've been in touch with a floor specialist but it seems like it makes more sense to really know the full scope before he comes over and starts working.
Anyway, trying to see if anyone has any recommendation and is it common to be able to find free evaluation? |
It doesn't look that bad. This is a basement suite ?
Did you find the cause of the leak? Is there a water fixture that shares that wall?
Just start by ripping up the baseboards and planks to the room then you can see if some of the drywall would need to removed too.
Fnd/fix the leak then replace flooring and baseboard.
