good evening

we wanted to move into our new house soon. But as it looks
everything is still too damp! now we are considering whether we
should just put a construction fan in the house for 2-3 weeks to make it dry faster?!
could there be any problems with that? from colleagues we have now heard that drying too quickly is unhealthy for the building structure. Our builder, on the other hand, said that this is no longer a problem with today's building materials.


great! once again clear: 10 people 10 opinions...

I don't think fans are great, heating and ventilating is better

Hello,

too rapid drying can also be problematic, the question is only what counts as too fast.

The general weather situation probably also plays a role in how quickly it can dry out, due to high humidity.

There is of course nothing against a fan, but I would also advise that the house is heated at the same time, because only then can healthy drying occur.

I just hope for you that it is not a construction defect that continuously lets moisture penetrate into the masonry, if it is, the builder has to take care of regulating the damage.

How long have you been waiting for the masonry to dry out?

Hello,

the question is also, where is the moisture coming from? Maybe you should go and look for it? Or do you just not want to wait for the drying time?
