Drying out leak

calleyw

On sunday we discovered a leak only because of a stain on the ceiling.

The leak had gone under the bath and in the wardrobe next door to it.

We have exposed the chip board floors by taking everything out of the wardrobe and have had the window open. The bath panel has been removed. The wardrobe is drying out nicely but bit the bathroom.

I have had a dehumdifier in the bathroom for the last 6 hours and it has pulled a good couple of inches of water out but it still looks very damp. And smells a little.

What else can I do, apart from ripping all the chipboard out which at the moment is not doable due to having no money

We had to have the dehumidifier on for a whole weekend when we had a leak, its annoying but worth it in the end

Wood even if it was outside would take a few days to dry out.

I think it will be a week or two, even with a dehumidifier

Thanks guys.

I am just little impatient as my house looks a mess with the bath panel off and stuck in the hall and all the items dragged out of the wardrobe cluttering up the floor.

Typical when I am in a clean the house up mood.
