Hello,
Lots of water in the basement due to the NE floods. *RI got creamed. *I
ripped down the sheetrock, took up the subfloor and laminate. *All in a

How long do I need to wait until I can begin rebuilding? *I was thinking at
least a few months to ensure everything is really dry. (wood studs down

Thanks for your time.
Definitely have to get a good commercial biocide anti-fungal/mold
inhibiting
cleaner as homemade bleach and ammonia cleaners don't completely
kill all varieties of mold...
As someone else here mentioned, get a moisture meter and check the
levels...
