Leaky Loo & urine stinking floorboards
When I bought my house (almost a year ago) I noticed in hot days that
there was an odd, minging and familiar smell in the bathroom and kitchen (below the bathroom). IEventually I stripped my kitchen ceiling pannels away only to discover a few damp marks where leaks occured. The dark ones did not concern me too much, but the white one did. The white patch looks & smells like crystalised urine and is right under the toilet so I ripped the laminate flooring to reveal a few crystally urine marks. My plan now is to unscrew the toilet, remove the toilet (I don't have a clue how to do any of this), remove the floorboards in the area and assess the damage. I will probably need to remove the fibre glass insulation in that section and replace they plasterboard on the kitchen ceiling. Can anyone see any flaws in my plan? Thanks in advance |

I spoke to Express Cleaning Supplies today, the lady I spoke to said it might not work on urine once it has crystalised. I'm more worried about the insulation and whatever else underneath to be honest. |
