I had a leak fixed in the attic just over a week ago. A pipe had sprung a leak and the plumber fixed it. There was no water dripping into the bedroom {the plumber only found the leak because the boiler was losing pressure) and I didn't think much more of it until tonight when I noticed the plasterboard and artex ceiling in my bedroom is sagging slightly and went up to the attic to have a look.
Where the leak was the plasterboard underneath is sopping wet. I've pulled all the insulation away from it so it can dry out but after googling the problem I've been met with loads of articles about mould spores growing and needing the ceiling repairing.
Is it as bad as it sounds? Or can I get away with trying to dry out the ceiling?
We only moved in over Christmas and ceiling repairs were not on my to-do list
