You may need a sump pump or drain for the water coming from the new furnace.

I’m running into and issue, during inspection we found some water damage to a portion of the subfloor and joist under the kitchen sink.

I washed with vinegar or TSP until the water ran clear.

Heavy sodium hypochlorite will kill any mold or mildew spores out there, as chlorine kills virtually anything that it comes into contact with (some protozoa and cysts can escape in water).

We planted a seed with the listing agent (since the property had been on the market a while), I came back around and watered that seed and BOOM that flower came up through the dirt and we plucked it!

But in the area it’s possible the water freezes in the winter.
