Hello - I am hoping to get some advice.
I am replacing the Mixet valve I currently have in my shower and have discovered water damage and mold around were the faucet penetrates the wall to the valve. It is currently dry and the area affected is appx. 18" x 18". Currently there is 1 layer of 5/8 drywall attached to the studs with a 7/16" layer of green board attached to the drywall. The green board is in good shape but the drywall has suffered water damage and is moldy. The complete thickness is appx. 1 1/16" to 1 1/8". How should I proceed with repairing the wall to obtain the desired thickness and prevent future damage should water seep behind the faucet trim bezel.
Thanks
Mike
