but I know about water leaks. The water tank in our loft ruptured a while back... we had water pouring through the central inner walls of the house.... it wrecked loads of stuff (but thankfully we were insured)...
as for drying the house out... we had all the windows & doors open... it happened to me in autumn so it wasn't as effective as we hoped.... our flooring needed replacing and we got mould on some of the walls... we had to keep cleaning it off... and a year later when we were sure they were as dry as possible we applied anti damp paint.
my boy has mild asthma... and even that level of damp effected his chest...
I hope someone somewhere can help you with this...
