outside tap dripping = wet walls!!

longwalks1

my outside tap has been dripping for a while un-noticed (behind some ivy - grrrr) and now ive turned it off fully, and inside where it leave the house, but the whole outside wall of my porch is soaked through, and hasnt dried even tho its in the sun most of the day (its plain red brick construction)... theres smal lamount of damp inside too, on my plastered wall, little spores...

Whats best to dry the wal lout, and inside, and hopefully prevent it getting worse, even tho tap is isolated now

Thanks in advance

If we have a decent summer it should happen naturally.

Plenty of ventilation for starters, keep the door open as much as possible.

Get rid of the ivy too!

It should dry quite quickly on its own now that the source of the damp has been removed.
