Default A word of warning! Wet carpet related.

I've been going through the ZT over recent weeks and sorting out the leak spots, the interior has been in my loft for a few years so the odd bit of water hasn't been a worry. I've stopped all ingress from about a half dozen places, the windows have still been misting up and it's bothered me as there's still moisture somewhere. I've probed around and I happened to put my knee down on the soundproofing, there's a small crack and water bubbled out. I've just levered up some of it and found what you'll see in the pictures, it means I'll take it all up and renew it. I think what it does mean is that we're at serious risk of the floors rotting out, a wet carpet can be dried out but if the carpet goes back over the trapped moisture under the deadening the seams will rot. If you have a wet carpet or had one in the past it might be prudent to check these areas. I'm happy to have found it and will replace the sound pads over the coming days, better than replacing the floorpan.
