Our house got about 6 - 8 inches of water due to Katrina. We flooded (about the same amount) with tropical storm Allison in 2001, so I've been through it before.
Anyway, my plan was, like before, to remove all the carpet and tear out sheetrock (did it to the 4ft. seam last time, this time might only do 2ft., since sheetrock may be hard to come by and for some other reasons), then thoroughly clean the floors and spray a strong bleach solution on the affected part of the wall framing. Well, today someone who lives in my neighborhood stopped by to ask if I had a hand truck he could borrow, and he started talking about mold. He works for a mold remediation company, and very enthusiastically stressed that the services his company provides were absolutely essential to ensuring the job is done properly. He said something about them SANDING each individual stud (but what about the end surface of the stud where it's resting on the sill plate?) and spraying some sort of special chemical to kill the mold. He said that even bleach won't kill some types of mold, and that even if you kill the "living" mold, the spores remain and will sprout right back up as soon as a little bit of moisture is present. (I'm paraphrasing... don't remember his exact words)
Bottom line... is this person simply handing me a sales pitch?
