Hello dear community,
I am still living with my parents in the partly leaking/undamped attic. Since the laundry room is below and the window there is never opened, I’m starting to get worried =/.
After a long argument about needing a new dryer, we finally got one. So far, so good, but where did the moisture from the old dryer go?
Because I live directly above and wanted to renovate, I removed the wallpaper and took up the laminate flooring. I had to remove a wooden panel covering the T-beam because of green/white mold.
Right above the laundry room, there is a wooden panel measuring 1500mm x 1500mm (59 inches x 59 inches). I wanted to scrape off the remaining wallpaper from the floor and noticed that the panel is coming off easily—completely unstable. Since the panel was glued down, I don’t know what to do. Other panels of about the same age are still solid and stable.
Last year, I added some insulation to the roof, done in the same way as the previous owner. So from my side, the roof interior is still not sealed with adhesive. Should I seal it?
By now, it’s almost impossible to sleep without a dehumidifier or open windows, and I’ve been feeling unwell since all this started... Did I do something wrong?
I could move out, but I don’t think that would solve the problem.
In the morning, it’s very cold and humid here, around 18.9°C (66°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. During the day, it’s quite warm, 23–25°C (73–77°F) with 40–45% RH. Right now it’s 25.1°C (77°F), 41% RH.
Since everything here already looks like a construction site, everyone is starting to think I should go to therapy -.- and that I should just cover everything back up!
But if I fix everything now and then possibly cause even more damage... I hardly know what to do anymore. I have already considered and planned to move out, but that won’t solve the problem =/
It would be great if someone could take my problem to heart, thanks in advance!
I’ve already looked around a bit but haven’t found anything suitable, especially under the topic “building damage”.
Best regards,
Chris
