[weldermna85]

hello I don't know if this is the correct spot or not but I have a tri level home with a finished basement. today my sump pump went out and we got about 1" of water. I just finished new dry wall and tons of other work. I can I fix this with out mold and with out tearing all my week old rywall down. thank you for any help

Best answer would be let it dry, use a dehumidifier, and see what it looks like dry, the mold would need moisture to continue to grow, so make sure the sump pump does not fail again, and use bleach to kill the mold that does show up, I would not remove all your work for one incident
