But Rudy's post said it was gypsum blocks, not clay tile. Is his querier (izzat a word?) incorrect, or are their multiple partition systems in the building. I got the impression that the building was externally flooded, but you are making it sound like it was flooded from the inside out.... 

And for Sharpshooter, I have to leave the science of water-saturated gypsum de-bonding to others, but given the performance of gypsum drywall after flooding, I would think that mold growth would be an issue with saturated gypsum block as well. Maybe it's too cold up there for that to be an issue this time of year. But later?
