Laundry Room- BEFORE

The previous owner had this nasty contraption going on in the laundry room.  Her washing machine was not strong enough to pump the water out properly.  So.. she had the water drain into a trash bucket, then had a sump pump drain the water out.  But... the problem was that she didn't drain the water.  The dirty water sat there for who knows how long & it smelled sooo gross.  It stunk up the basement as soon as you started down the stairs.  Thankfully, that's out of there now & the basements smelling better.

Here's the nasty bucket.

There's the sump pump.  That white wall was the one with the tiny bit of mold on it.  Once we cleaned it up, it's been dry & mold free ever since.
