Mold Question

[Kyle B.]

I plan on consulting an expert for this question but also wanted to get opinions from BP members as well (who may be mold experts themselves). I saw a house that had significant mold damage on the main level caused by sitting water in the basement. I've estimated repairs that factor in the removal of the mold.

In situations like this, how can you tell that the drywall will be reusable once the mold is removed. I've talked it over with someone who has done mold remediation before, and he said that in most cases the dry wall is salvagable and would assume so in this instance as well, although he hasn't seen the home personally to confirm.

It would be great to hear from anyone who has been through this scenario before. Are there any signs to look for or do you just have rely on an experts opinion?
