Hello everyone,

Our heating system was put into operation three weeks ago. Unfortunately, the roofers installed these black things (I don’t know the name, see photo Roof 2) in between. Because of this, a lot of moisture has accumulated, and now the beams are starting to develop mold.

Our construction manager said we should wait until everything dries out first and then treat the roof beams. In the long term, we don’t expect any negative effects.

What do you think about this?

Thanks and best regards

The site manager had an idea for treatment once the beams are dry; now is the right time.
