I don't know how many towels I went through that night but it was a lot and at a certain point you just can't absorb anymore water even after spinning them in the machine. So I put the Dyson onto it because the evap would just bring more humidity in. But over the next day just put the evap on dry and did a lot to dry it.

After trying to **** around with trying to get tradies out here I just said **** it and put in a claim. I got the call yesterday arvo and sure enough bloke shows up on time this morning.

He was inclined to rip the carpet out (I think mostly out of procedure) but I guess was a bit on the fence too since it was not too bad. I'm very hesitant to replace it since it looks fine and still have to do some sort of repairs. And in any case they still have to dry out the slab so might aswell give it a go.

Sprayed some bacterial spray down, setup the blowers and dehumidifier and off we go. All was good and hot and noisy and of course it started ****ing down again and leaking again! Luckily not too much so big relief.

Hoping on Monday he will just be able to re-lay it. I'm gonna need a few trades around possibly to figure it out but first stop is the vacuum gutter cleaner instead of some bloke with a blower where they left all sorts of shit in

Seems like there is something really wrong with that roof as it doesn't appear to shed serious water properly.
I think you said you've had problems with it before. It might be time to pull the carpet permanently as it probably happen again. The weather is not getting any better.

Hope you can get it sorted for once and all.
