When a leak hits a rental flat
Gdańsk has plenty of flats let for short stays. A leak in one of them is double trouble: damage in the walls and cancelled bookings. The pro first looks for the source, then measures the moisture in the walls and floor, and only then sets up a condensing dehumidifier. Every day counts, so write in the job when the leak happened and whether water is still coming through. Photos of the ceiling and floor show the scale straight away.
New flats are being added here more than twice as fast as the national average, and a new building can be damp too, because screeds and plaster release water for a long time. Then measuring and airing help, sometimes a dehumidifier for a few days. If you're claiming from an insurer, order documentation: photos, measurements and a description of the cause. Without it, it's harder to get paid for repainting and a new floor. Paint only once a follow-up measurement shows the wall is dry.

Questions about water damage drying in Gdańsk
My neighbour flooded my flat. Where do I start?
Take photos before you clean anything up, and report it to the building manager. Then post a job with a description and photos. The pro will measure the moisture and prepare documentation that helps when dealing with the neighbour's insurer.
How much does drying cost in Gdańsk?
The price list ranges are calculated for Warsaw, so for Gdańsk they're a pointer. The pro gives the final amount in the offer. A dehumidifier is usually charged per day, and travel is either in the price or separate.
How long does it take to dry a wall?
From a few days to a few weeks, depending on how much water soaked in and what the wall is made of. The pro takes follow-up measurements and tells you when you can paint. Rushing it usually ends with paint peeling off.
Will the dehumidifier be loud?
It's roughly as loud as a fridge, or a bit louder. It runs non-stop, so in a bedroom it can be a nuisance. Ask in the chat whether it can go in another room with the door shut.
