Howdy All,
Remodeling the master bath and found some mold in a couple of the exterior wall cavities.
Being that we live in northern WI, wondering what the best course of action is to clean it and prevent it from coming back? Old man winter doesn't want to give up and we are currently in the 20s here. Don't know if they helps or hinders the cleaning/prevention process.
Currently I have the exterior wall open with just the insulation in the bays.
Items of note:
PREVIOUS wall construction, from outside to in: vinyl siding, house wrap(Typar I believe), OSB, studs and R19 fiberglass batts, poly, and then drywall.
NEW wall construction, from the outside to in: all the same, except I will be I am replacing the poly with Membrain and want to put PVC shiplap up instead of drywall.
Thoughts and ideas welcome.
Thanks,
Brian
