After 8 weeks of complaining about dark spots appearing on our walls, plumbers found that the shower drain was leaking. Being on a concrete sub floor the leak spread under the floor so we now have mold in every room. Now a plumber has fixed the leak and put two dehumidifiers in our flat. Here is a picture of one with the damp moldy wall behind. In the US, the health department would have us move out until it was corrected. Here in the damp UK it's not a health issue. So the idea is that the moisture is drawn out of the air and also pulled through the walls until it is dry enough to repaint. The dehumidifiers draw so much moisture that you can't even blink your eyes. And that's not the worst of it...We're scared to set a drink down because it might be empty when you reach for it again. It's not one bit funny!
