Water damage drying in Łódź: leaks from above and damp in old walls

In central Łódź old water pipes in tenements are everyday reality, and a cracked riser or a leaking connection can flood several flats below. Thick walls soak up water slowly and give it back slowly. A wall can look dry while still holding moisture inside for a long time. That's why the source of the leak comes first, then measuring the moisture in the walls, and only at the end setting up a condensation dehumidifier. If you're claiming from your insurer, ask the pro for documentation with measurements and photos.

In Widzew and Bałuty, floods in blocks usually come from a neighbour's washing machine, hose or dishwasher. Water gets into the screed and ceilings, and all you see on the surface is a stain. Without measuring, it's easy to paint the wall too early and see mould a month later. The pro checks the moisture, dries everything and does a follow-up measurement a few days later. Write in the job when the flooding happened and whether the power in the room is on.
