After the flood waters receded and we tried to dry the house with fans and dehumidifiers, we took a baseboard off to see how much water was left. Unfortunately, too much.
We had everything from 2 foot down removed and replaced. Everything you see in white is new. Because we took mitigation measures after the Ike flood, we had less to replace. We added a few more prevention ideas this time to hopefully make the task even less daunting if we flood again: 6 inch baseboards to cover the 5 inch gap between the floor and drywall. Waters haven't come up to 5 inches, so maybe next time the drywall won't be affected.
Our only "fun" project during this renovation: shelves under the stairs.
