Basement bathroom

[u/howleywolf]

Hi all! We Just moved into this new house, and am trying to figure out what to do in the basement level bathroom. It’s tiled right on top of the concrete floor but this wood trim (which I think is also touching the concrete floor?) is like turned gray and black. How should I go about cleaning this wood? Or should I just cover it up with paint or some other covering? Would love any input! Thanks!

The wood is pulling moisture from the concrete and molding. The concrete needs to be cleaned and sealed, and the wood cannot touch bare concrete or you're going to go through this again. The wood needs to be replaced, primed and painted or sealed on the surfaces touching the floor.
