Water Damage
Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 10:49 pm
Hi There,
I am trying to help a friend out with their bathroom in their master bedroom. The drain in the shower must have been cracked for a long time and then they finally noticed it when it completely broke off. I came over and took a look and told them there is probably a lot of water and we better pull the shower. After doing this there was a great deal of water and it has been there for a long time. I pulled as much wet insulation as I could and then let it air out. My question is whether I can cut the black plastic under the trailer which holds all of the insulation and remove all of the insulation to make sure I get rid of all of the moisture (worried about mold). I noticed two areas under the trailer where there is sag in this black liner. They said they had a huge hot water heater leak a few years back and I am thinking that another section is holding water. We are going to redo the whole bathroom and I want to do this right for them. I have done alot of work in houses but never a trailer. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
