Water Damage

[Jiffy]

I just purchased a 1988 moblie home. The home has not been lived in within the last 3 months. There was a water leak underneath the home which cause the walls and floor to mildew. I am sure the floor will need replacing but is there something that can clean the mildew from the walls or will they need replacing also. I also wanted to know wher I could purchase replacement cabinets.

If the walls are the standard thin wallboard, your probably better off replacing the panels. I would want a look at the insulation behind the walls anyway, as they are a breeding ground for mold.

You can use any cabinets you can make fit, but if your looking to find an exact match for what you currently have, it's not going to happen. You will have to mix and match or remove what you have and start anew unfortunately. Tom

Where would I be able to find the wallboards? What are they made of?

[Tom]

Im not sure of the exact material name, but its pressed between a vinyl covering. Look in your phonebook yellow pages under Manufactured Homes/Service/Supply. Tom

Most likely you won't find matching wallboards, so you'll probably have to end-up redoing the whole wall so it matches.
