We removed our upstairs toilet after discovering that it leaked and found that the sub-flooring and plywood all around the toilet were wet. I will be removing most of the plywood and replacing it, but I am wondering about the moisture that seeped under the corner walls. I will remove plywood as close to the walls as possible, but cannot remove it under the walls. I checked the other side of one wall and no sign of moisture, so it probably stopped somewhere under the wall.
What can I do about this? I heard about anti-mold spray or wash, if I apply that to the plywood will it seep in and protect from mold growth? Should I seal the old plywood with primer? Should I apply silicone at the bottom of the walls in case of future leaks? Other suggestions?
Thanks!
