Hi all,
We had a flood of water through the house caused by a blocked valley gutter. After 4 weeks the wall in the photo is still quite damp, smelly and has mould growing on it. What's the best way to get it to dry out? I know heat and a dehumidifier are probably the way to go but we'd like to avoid that expense if possible and have been hoping for some warmer summer weather to help us. Sadly the sun has not been shining and we need to get things properly dry so we can redecorate. What's the most cost effective way of getting the remaining moisture out of this wall? The house is a semi detached property and this wall is the one separating our house from next door so is internal and not open to outside air.
Apologies if this is not the most appropriate part of the forum to post this. Mods lease feel free to move elsewhere.
