When we visit our out of state properties once every year or so, if it's in the fall, we plan on seeding and distributing that moisture control stuff on top where needed, then watering ourselves each day we're there and hope for rain after.  

Remember that mold needs two things to grow, moisture and a food source.

I don't know if all the moisture in this photo was because the floor is soaked or if this is because they sprayed it with something.This is quite an aggressive home renovation they have done without even consulting me. 

The good news (at least it seems like good news) is that the cause of the moisture was a burst pipe not a leaky foundation or some other mystery cause..

I imagine the allure type flooring would hold up even better to moisture but it's also about 1.49/sqft whereas laminate can be had for 0.29/sqft for something that might last 5 years and under 1/sqft for stuff that should last longer than that.  

The powder should soak up the last bit of moisture and get everything smelling better.

The second issue is a liability as, in theory, the LLC provides a layer of protection in that the potential claimant can't penetrate into your personal assets; the LLC would simply file bankruptcy, and that would be it.

Its worth the cost, helps with moisture, smell and mold.

During my inspection, the inspector noted the issues mentioned in the termite and moisture report, as well as the following: - "There were signs of moisture intrusion at the subfloor/floor joist structure." - "There were one or more signs of fallen insulation in the crawlspace at the time of inspection.

Now, you might ask me, “Vinney, I would like to actually have all my students take an excel worksheet and write down the area they’re going to penetrate and also the broker’s name, their phone number, their e-mail in the next column, and then the brokerage house, realty house that they belong to and then you put ten different columns: first contact, second contact third contact, fourth contact, fifth contact.
