What kind of surface does water need to come in contact with to cause mold?

For sealing the drywall, I used Kilz2 latex sealant/Multi-surface stain blocker.

VA guidelines require that “The surface requiring treatment must be thoroughly washed, scraped, wirebrushed or otherwise cleaned to remove all cracking, scaling, peeling, chipping and loose paint and then repainted with two coats of a suitable nonleaded paint, or:The paint shall be completely removed or the surface covered with a suitable material such as gypsum wallboard, plywood or plaster before any painting is undertaken if the paint film integrity of the surface needing treatment cannot be maintained.” 

In the area where most of the damage is the studs have some surface mold but are otherwise solid.Thank you in advance!

Take down this mess to the concrete and put your new floor on a solid surface.

My AC expert tenant in Property #2 came to Property #1 for routine AC maintenance, and he showed off his new gadget a FLIR camera tool that connected to his iPhone.BTW: A FLIR camera sees the world based on the temperature of the surface.

I’ve used QuickBooks but have only touched the surface.

While the Laminate is highly scratch resistant and water resistant with good resale value it does have an issue with spills being left on the surface for a period of time.

Many members withhold portions of security deposits where applicable, pre-lease units, have little to no vacancy, don't pay lease-up fees, use hard surface flooring, only pay a few hundred dollars to paint a unit (if even needed), and then swap out a rotating lock set....whereas other members have thousands in vacancy and repairs.

Its a smooth surface, just make sure you clean/degrease it properly.
