Killing any mold that might be in the trailer is essential to having a relatively healthy trailer after the new floor is installed. When Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf Coast, thousands of homes were flooded. Most people found that simply spraying things with bleach would not kill the mold. It kills what it contacts, but as the bleach dissipates, the mold that wasn't in contact with the bleach will overgrow and things will be "just like before treatment" in a couple months. There are many "mold removal kits" that are much more effective and more important, permanent solutions to killing mold.

Do some research before you buy a gallon of Clorox and consider the job done. It's not that simple in a trailer where mold has started in the floor and moved up the walls. Or where it's started in the walls and moved down to rot the floor.....

It's not an impossible task, just be sure that you do your research and do it right before you cover it up.... Good Luck !!!!!
