Water damage drying in Poznań: damp screed or a leak?

Poznań is adding homes faster than the Polish average, and new estates reach all the way to Suchy Las and Komorniki. In a freshly finished building the screed and plaster are still giving off water, so windows mist up in winter and mould appears in the corners. The pro will measure the moisture in the walls and floor, set up a condensation dehumidifier and tell you when parquet can go down. Put the handover date and the type of flooring you plan in the job.

In Jeżyce and Łazarz it's more often a leak. Tenement plumbing tends to be old, and water from a leaking connection runs under the floor before it shows up on the ceiling a floor below. The first job then is finding the leak, acoustically or with tracer gas, without blind chiselling. Drying only makes sense once the source is fixed. If the cellar flooded, the pro will pump the water out first and then leave a dehumidifier running for a few days.
