Continue to dry out the area and search for any hidden areas of mold. Continue to dry and ventilate the area. Don t replace flooring or begin rebuilding until the area has dried completely.

Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent used as a disinfectant in water and sometimes to eliminate odors.
However, ozone is a known lung irritant. Symptoms associated with exposure include cough, chest pain, and eye, nose, and throat irritation. Ozone generators have been shown to generate indoor levels above the safe limit. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that ozone is not effective in controlling molds and fungi, even at high concentrations far above safe health levels. Also, ozone may damage materials in the home.
