I had a roof which had probably been leaking for around a year and got worse. It caused a corner of the kitchen wall to become damp and wet. This was during the renovation of a kitchen so the walls were not plastered. I got the leak fixed (broken tile) and there were no more leaks after heavy rain. I wanted the kitchen finished quickly so I got it plastered but noticed in that corner the wall was still wet. I kept drying it within a heater and airing the room. Then, perhaps too soon, I got it painted. There are some stains more worrying white salts which I believe to be Efflorescence.
I don't want to have to replaster this whole corner. What's the solution? Rent a dehumidifier?
