Dehumidifying question:
I have a dehumidifier running in my very small (currently non-functioning/unused) bathroom.
There was a leak in there, which I've repaired.
I've ctaped up all the gaps i can to the outside world and keep the door closed basically all the time.
Dehumidifier is still pulling out 1.5-2l water a day.
I don't want to re-tile until I'm confident that things are dry.
Guessing I need to wait a bit longer?

Unless you have a very well sealed room it will always pull an amount of water out of the air as the air is being replaced by the damp(er) air from outside.

As long as you don't have 75% + humidity in the room it's 'dry'.

That's the hard bit though isn't it? Even when there was water trickling down the wall and i could squidge the plaster with my little finger, it was 70% humidity...
