In yesterday's storm, water was pushed in through a dormer to the cold attic.
This resulted in wet boarding and insulation, with a small amount of water dripping from the ceiling light in the hallway.
Now the question is how should I dry this up?
With 250mm insulation, it's cold in the attic, so even though it's locally damp right now, the conditions for mold growth are not optimal directly.
If I use a construction fan to heat, it will dry faster, but with the heat, the conditions for mold growth become better.
How should I handle this?
Should I let it dry slowly on its own, or should I tear up the insulation and use heat instead?
