ᐅ Move-in at 85% relative humidity

Hello everyone,

Our move-in date is April 26, 2014.
Currently, there are four Trotek TTK600 units running in the house.
Last night, I turned them off once and checked the humidity this morning: 85%.

Can we move in with small children under these conditions?
Is it likely that one more week of drying will significantly reduce the humidity?
Can we install the parquet flooring now and continue drying afterwards?

Sorry for all the questions!

Thank you,
ILWJ

How old is the screed? How long is your drying time? What does the site manager say?

The screed will have been installed for four weeks the day after tomorrow.
We have been drying it for over three weeks now, initially with fewer machines—now at full capacity.

According to the construction manager, the masonry is very dry, but all the hygrometers and our own experience indicate otherwise...
In winter, the building stood for 10 weeks without a roof or covering, exposed to rain!

So you want to move into a shell construction? I don’t understand... with us, it took 10 weeks for the screed to dry before starting the interior work...

Why don’t you just stay where you are?
Either way, living on a construction site is definitely not suitable for (small) children!

For a definitive statement, in my opinion, a specific situation is missing here. Information from the original poster is missing! Surface cracks on a 4-week-old (or younger) screed are—apart from the indoor humidity—still completely part of the basic shell regarding the interior finishing.
