Mist on surfaces to kill mould spores in a 24 hr period (leave so that the spores lose grip). You can then use the same mix to clean off any visible mould. You can also use bundles of chalk to absorb moisture, rotating them out to dry in the sun. Best of luck.

The water travelled downward through heating ducts etc., VERY quickly (in minutes!), all the way to the basement. Restoration involved not only floors but ceilings and walls too. I read your comment on SG about your hardwood/versus cold tile dilemma - we've used the heating mats that are installed under the tile (NuHeat is one brand) and they are marvelous - warm tootsies on cold winter days. They can be a bit pricey to put in (although I would think the price has come down since we installed 5 yrs ago) but very reasonable to operate. It also supplements the room heat in the winter. I still love hardwood though. Good luck with all this - a lot of work and disruption to a busy schedule never comes at a good time.<br />ElaineElaine G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-21659835241416386852012-08-04T11:26:28.998-04:002012-08-04T11:26:28.998-04:00Bunny, all I can say is soooooo very sorry.
