My North facing kitchen wall looks like this after 8 years of neglect.



Am I gonna die?

drywallers son here

no

if fucks with you but you can easily clean it if its not inside the drywall

if its inside 

just rip it out

and buy another sheet screw it on



how to clean



vingegar and listerine

soak cloth and it will come off easy if its on the surface,

but if it is really bad rip it out





buy sheet screw it in 

. you dont actually need to plaster , lol to fix it

just leav it like if its a garage 

plastering is an extra step you can take later lol.



know another thing

do you rent or own

if you own

dont fucking tell anyone and just rip it out

buy the pain chipping

it actually just looks like its on the surface

but yeah you need to get that shit out 

also find out why its damp there



that shit really bad for your health and can fuck with women more

also you dont need to destroy you kitchen 

if the middle of the sheet is loaded with mold just rip out a square where it is with a blade, honestly it does not look bad, could just be a pipe that drips on that piece or it could just be splash

Thanks for that.

I live in Europe. So it's not in the drywall I have cement block walls.



I own, but my house is on an illegal plot so I'm mostly not worried about the government throwing a hissy fit.



You mention a pipe, the house is damp as fuck because I'm on a plot of land.



But I'm worried it may be a broken pipe since there's a bathroom on the other side... How do I figure out if there's a leaking pipe in my walls?

if you cut the moldy piece and its really bad you should be able to see the problem, a drip coming from somewhere, or it could just be a leaky pipe, but honestly the humidity behind the something in the wall could also cause it. 



but i will say that does not look bad

its not all black yet and its on the surface really

if the sheet is comprimised it doesn not take much force to break it 

like just poke it

oh yeah 

vinegar listerine and add water

it stinks 

but it will kill all fungus

Looks bad enough to make it unsafe for pet birds. I knew a girl who had to move because of that. As for your lungs, well, I doubt it's great but short term you'll survive if you're not showing symptoms. Definitely don't leave this sitting for years though, the damage is cumulative

that drywall sheet is a goner

replace the whole thing, there's a probably a leak behind it anyway
