| I will get you started before the pros come.
You are on the right track. You need to get the air to flow. Pull the insulation out as it is wet. It has to be if you were seeing water on the wall and ceiling. Mold will continue to grow as long as it is wet. Leave it out long enough for the wood to dry.
The soffit vents need to be open to the attic. And the attic needs to be open to the outside. Either with gable vents or ridge vent. There are calculatore online to see how much venting you need.
Everything is super wet, it sounds like, so you need to put a fan or dehumidifier in to speed the drying. That is after you remove all wet insulation.
Make sure the bathroom vents are properly vented to outside. Running them will help get the moisture down in the house.
Get a humidity gauge (they are pretty cheap) found in the area of the store with the humidifiers and dehumidifiers. Try to get the moisture to the low side of the comfort range on the gauge before you put the insulation back in.
It will take a few days to see the results I believe but the experts will be along to tell us both the correct things.  |
