What is the worst case scenario if you're about to close on a foreclosure with water stains and mold on the garage ceiling and a bathroom is above the garage on this house built in 1968?

Answer I would think the bathroom has leaked....alot of pipes to a bath, could be any of them. At least you know, now you can fix the problem, and use Kilz to paint with it does cover mold and mildew Answer The worst problem is not fixing the pipes, but fixing the resultant damage. It is possible that there is a lot of rot and mold.

We had a problem in one of our baths where it leaked below. He had a contractor cut a hole in the ceiling and test to make sure everything is OK Answer The mold may need to be tested to be certain that it has not spread to other areas and has become a health hazard. Have a qualified home inspector look at the house before you finalize.

You'll be glad you did.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
