DHW Leak

[novicegas]

Hi guys,

Have just diagnosed and rectified a leaking hot water pipe which was under in concrete. The leak had been occuring for about a week and the concrete is still damp to touch, about 4m square is visible, rest is under kitchen tiles. Anyone know how long it will take the concrete to fully dry?

Many thanks

month week put in a dehumidifier and leave it running

are you asking because your going to be re-tiling the floor when dried?
if so don't be in any rush, give a couple of months otherwise you would be lining yourself up to go back when the damp starts lifting the tiles again.
as said get the dehumidifier running and leave the floor uncovered.
