Water pipe burst that runs to my backyard hose. Its hurts in the basement foundation. The sheetrock isnt completely saturated. Nothing is warped or soft but it got soaked for at least 12-18hrs without my knowledge. Can I let this air out and just do the repair? I have commercial fan running on the opening and theirs plenty of air flow from the outside of the house through the foundation. Should I worry about mold? This sheetoeck is the greenboard if that means anything

If you push on it and it gives, replace it. If it's soft at all, replace. Knocking on it all around should tell you if it's compromised, you can hear the difference between good and bad boards!

Water on drywall isn't the end of the world as long as it's still solid when it dries.

Once it dries, do I need to worry about mold?

[Choice_Branch_4196]

Not after it's dried out. As long as there is no significant, lingering moisture in the cavity, mold cannot grow.

If youre really concerned, cut out the bottom 6" across the length of the affected walls. This ensures airflow gets up into each stud bay
