Mold

[Minna Reid]

Is there some special consideration you give this? I looked at an REO today with Extreme mold. I mean I've never seen anything like it. Supposedly the pipes burst, to me it looks like someone turned the water on and walked away...either way there is mold EVERYWHERE. All over the walls, ceilings, floors, everywhere. Got a headache from just being in there. Joists look unharmed though, but it looks to me like it just needs to get gutted all the way to the framing and to be started over. Theres corrosion all over the utilities also and I just assume those will need to be replaced also.
Question is, am I pretty safe to assume once I remove everything down to the studs, I will also have alleviated the mold? i mean doesn't a complete gut pretty much solve any problem, outside of structural?
