Oh my land!
The things we uncovered today have been shocking. I feel like we could be on a Mike Holmes tv show. A picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words, but these leave us speechless.
In case you're wondering, those studs are supposed to be continuous from floor to ceiling. No wonder the tile grout was cracking it had nothing left to hold on to.
The house now smells of bleach, but thankfully not so terribly that we can stand to be here. In fact, you only notice it when you first walk in. The office/playroom is closed off and being aired out. We're waiting for all that moisture to dry out so the repair can start.
As best our contractor and team can figure out - the bathtub waterline nearest the wall was leaking. And there are no weep holes along the foundation to remove water pooling such as it was ... So the insulation wicked it up. It was soaked all the way to the ceiling.
