Slide leakage

Hello guys,

Last spring we had a leakage, the water was coming in where the slide touches the wall. There was a bit of water, standing between the wall and the floor (front of the trailer).
I fixed the leakage, replaced the insulation (from the bottom), cleaned the mold. It wasn’t too bad.

The problem now, is that the floor a bit uneven, next to the leakage place. I don’t have a way to even out the floor. I will need to remove the linoleum and somehow put it back…

Question, is there a reason to remove the linoleum? Can I leave it as is? Can we breathe it (I am guessing there is a mold under the linoleum..)?

Thank you!
  • Yes, it's OSB-press board, it sweels with water intrusion.
    If you can live with it, no issues regarding health.
  • The floors are often made of pressboard or wafer board. It soaks the water and swells. I end up cutting open floor covering and replacing the subfloor. Hopefully this isnt the case but most likely is.
