Damp

Hallo,

Just been crawling around under my downstairs floor looking for a central heating leak. Found it, but it has been leaking for some time now, and the solid ground below the floorboards is quite damp, wet in the area around the leak...

When I originally bought the house and did a considerable amount of work, I remember it was dry down there at the time.

So, how do I dry it all out? or will it dry itself now that the leak is cured?

Cheers, Rich.

If there are vents (air bricks) it should dry itself out.

Or can you get a dehumidifier in?

No point worrying about it, if it's just on the sub floor it will dry out eventually. IMHO Ray

Chippy's quite right, Rich. It'll dry out on its own - just cure the leak and worry not. (Just be glad you don't live in the Thornton area - under their floors / and their gardens is a permanent puddle)! That's why Its called Marsh Mill and 'Red Marsh industrial estate' - it all used to be a marsh.
