I don't see the water damage? You've already ripped out the sheetrock and insulation. Tiled floor held up well. Was the leak upstairs?

By the time I found it, 20 years had passed.

Nice, this is exactly what I do for a living. Floods and fires. Mostly floods. I have been right at this point many many times.
