Well I discovered an issue the previous home owner left me with.
I just finished the garage just to rip a drywall corner of it out. When doing so I can see where the previous owner had patched it.
The issue is is the corner of my garage has water seeping in from the mortar on the outside. It’s been doing it for sometime because the furring stripes are pretty wet. I masked and gloves up to remove the wet drywall. I put a dehumidifier in the garage. Sprayed the black mold with straight bleach a few times and let it sit. No other area is compromised.
Here’s pic before the flooring went down. This is what made me caulk the outside but I’m wondering if I just redirected the water when I did.
Here’s it ripped out before spray and drying
Here is where the water sits on the outside
So I’ll need to have someone out to remortar the corner. Replace the furring strips and wood. Possible dig down 10 ft inside my garden to reapply moisture barrier that may be compromised. The cinderblock appears wet/moist from the compromised wall outside.
