dp,
thank you very much for the info,
we will next week start to take deep probe readings for the developer. this was always the plan.
the surface of the boarding is drying, and the flood was clean water and not black water.
several of the walls are open, as we have the ceilings down.
i totally agree, with you about ventilation, and the floor contact of walls.
obviously we dont want to pull the place apart totally, but there is a balance between drying time, mould and refurbishment costs.
I must say this is the largest one that we have done, and i do love it.
regards
martin
