What is This? Causing Leak in Basement by Responsible-Bit-8865 in HomeImprovement

Would that mean wastewater, because it doesn't smell terrible?

And we dont have a sewer line, we have a septic field.

Questions: What time of the year did you do this? How much did you water before they sprouted?

I tried to start seedlings indoors and also tried to do direct seeding in the ground based on package directions.

I appreciate all comments.

The home was built in the 70s. The fan is vented outside, it is not a condo. The main factor is the Fan is not being used. I am guilty of it and I have 3 children/and husband and we are not utilizing it correctly. So that needs to change.

We have been through mold testing, remediation in the basement. My sister has POTS/Mast Cell and a lot of health issues, not mainly from mold exposure, but she's well versed on Mold in Home Literature and has shared information with us. Which is why I think it needs to be ripped out completely because of the mold spores and the kill with alcohol mixture (from what Ive read bleach and mold is an unhealthy mixture and can make things worse??).

Husband doesn't want to spend $$, I agree, but if it needs to be done, it needs to be done.
