Bathroom project...
Hello all, I was wondering if someone would give me thier opinion? I had a leak around the tub grouting and windowsill. It damaged the drywall badly. Upon removing it I discovered that the studs were a little black and mildewed. They arent rotten to the touch, but look a little water damaged. To replace them i would have to tear a lot more up to get the tub out of the way. Is there a soulution that I could spray on them to kill the mold/mildew and stop it from spreading? It would be more practical and economical if I did. The tub has maybe 1/8 to 1/4 on the sides by the studs so it will be very difficult to remove it. I would appreciate immensly any help anyone could give me.... Thank you in advance, regards, AJ
Thank you for the suggestions, The mold is not green though, there is a little light tan growth going on. Looks to only be surface there. The wood is definately water damaged, somewhat black in color, but still firm to the touch. Should i sand off or plane off some of this, or will spraying it down and covering it with plastic be fine? Best regards, AJ
Thanks everyone for the advice.... I am considering just removing the tub now and putting in a new one... So I might just end up knocking out a wall... How crazy do I want to get? *laughs at myself*.... Thanks again AJ I was going to post some pics in this msg, but forgot how to on these groups?
