Renting an apartment, had a bad flood last year, restoration company came and left (and forgot about) an industrial fan for 6 weeks, afterwards they said everything should be fine. Bookcase was not moved. After moving the bookcase (roommate moving out), we found this seemingly significant damage. Is this fixable/cleanable without professional help?
Dimension from wall on left is 65", "blocky" section is 48"x18"

That section of the wall must be cut out. The drywall and plaster and then behind it must be cleaned. You would cut out about 12" over the molded area. I see mold too next to it.
Fans help having a huge mold issue. If you have a flood and standing water fans are not the fix though. They just keep the issue from getting out of control.
