I have a large cinder block room that has had 6ft of water in it.
The water was pumped out yesterday and we plan on setting a TES unit on it today once we get the debris cleaned up.
What kind of things should we expect?
Will the block retain the water?
Should the paint be stripped off to allow moisture to pass through?
or Will we need to dill the mortar?
The interior block definitely has water, it came from an adjacent crawl space also needs to be dried and we have 2-more TES units to dry it.
Any help would be appreciated. My guys say it will dry fine, but this is a wet one and just looking ahead.
