I fixed the roof now onto the dry wall. I’ll post in the comments a picture from the house and from the attic of the dry wall in question. Do I need to cut it out and replace it or just paint over it or something else I am unaware of?

    Thanks. My only concern with bleach is that it will dissolve the drywall or any glues that are in it holding things together.

      If you use it on the surface, you won’t have any problems (if it’s diluted). It’s something that’s sold for this exact thing. Otherwise, a quick Google would tell you if there are any problems. I’m just trying to help with the mold/fungal part since that might be a little more tricky to understand.

      My only hesitation is if it gets under the paper. It still should be fine, but I don’t want to say yes when I’m not 100% sure (it’s a scientist thing).

      The pure bleach… Well, I’d test that first on a small piece of drywall if you have any laying around. Put a little on, let it sit for a minute, wipe it off with water a couple times and see how it looks in a day or two. In a different spot, put some on for 5 min and do the same thing.
