Mold rings on sublfoor around plumbing?
Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2017 5:29 pm
I am in the process of replacing my tub, so you will probably see me posting frequently on here! I appreciate all the help thus far!
One of the main cause of concerns was finding mold rings around the subfloor around all the plumbing-which indicates that all of it must be leaking or have some issue.
I knew that there was a leak around the tub spout (which was what prompted this whole project to begin with), but I didn't think I would find even more mold elsewhere.
The question is, what can possibly be wrong with all the plumbing? Are they just old and need to be replaced? Do they all have leaks or is it condensation or something else? What is the best fix for this?
I live in a 2004 Skyline.
This is what it looks like now with the blue area indicating where most of the mold was : (i scrubbed a lot of the mold off with mask and gloves on, dish soap and diluted tea tree oil. I didn't want it spreading around in the air while I'm figuring things out...but that is why it looks a bit cleaner but it did not look like that before):
This is what a lot of the mold spots looked like prior to cleaning up: Thanks in advance for any help!
