I bought a house this summer that needed new floors. We redid them with prefinished oak hardwood. When we pulled up the old linoleum floors in one bedroom, there was a strong pet odor smell. We cleaned the subfloor as best we could and coated all the stained areas on the floor and wall with Kilz, then layed the hardwood over top of it. This did not solve our problems. There is still a noticeable pet urine smell in the room. My next step is going to be to remove the baseboards and prime the walls with Zinsser BIN. The baseboards are brand new. Do they need to be primed as well? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to remedy this problem?

I apologize in advance for the long post, but would appreciate any and all help!!! Here in SC we had a TON of rain in October and we've had quite a few rainstorms since our big flooding incident and things haven't had a lot of time to dry out. My house did not suffer from water intrusion, but recently, I noticed a musty smell and did some inspections... I found that we had mold (very light and easy to come off) in a cabinet in the kitchen and then in a bathroom. We used Concrobium to take care of it and it hasn't been back in over a week. We then did some further investigating and found more in a few other quiet and dark places in the house....treated with Concrobium. We bought a hygrometer to test the RH in the house. It was 77% in most places (way too high). We then bought a dehumidifer and it has been sucking water like a dry plant. After running it pretty consistently, it has brought the RH down to the 45%-55% range. The musty smell is now gone. We had a mold company come out. They said the mold is most likely from the high humidity since it is scattered throughout. They took humidity readings on the walls and said they were good (but this was after running the dehumidifier). They checked both the crawl space and the attic (we have 2 separate sides of the attic). The crawl space had mold (nothing horrible according to the mold company) and so did the attic (the side that does not usually get sun and is in the shade)...(again,nothing horrible according to the mold company). The company came up with a plan to remove the mold in the attic and crawl space as well as clear the duct work. My question is....how can we get rid of it in our living space? We have not seen the mold everywhere, but in a few places. Is it really from the high humidity? Will we always have to run dehumidifiers or will the humidity eventually go to a normal state? Will the mold come back? We are just nervous since we do not want to go through this again!!! It's been awful! The home has never had an issue before. Thanks so much in advance, I am sorry for the long post!
