It was easily rolled on with a paint roller and dried very quickly. I wonder if this could be used the same way after the particle board has this issue? Not wet, but had been at some point and is now dry. When I worked in construction, it was common for the builders to seal up the plywood/particle board flooring with a antimicrobial sealer.

It sounds like a sponge. Can this be dried out or will we need new sub-flooring? We replaced the hot water heater already with a drip pan under it. What do we need to do next?

When I had the original carpet replaced with present carpet 3 years ago, the plywood sub-floor was black in some areas which in retrospect, I now think was mildew. This room is over a basement area. Are there dry chemicals to deal with this isue and if not, how do I get the mildew removed in shortest period of time that would allow laminate floors to be installed in their stead?
