    Hello people who live in places that are wet, particularly people who are familiar with shitty American homes - Help wanted, please boost:

    My apartment has gotten a leak in the roof which has resulted in a leak in the ceiling. They're going to call people to fix the roof tomorrow. There's a big patch of water damage on the ceiling of a bedroom. Based on how the rest of the unit has mold out the ass that we are constantly losing the war against, and have been since we moved in, I am expecting they will do fuck all to do what it would actually take to fix that problem.

    How can I, as a renter, minimize the mold potential of this patch of ceiling?

    Tools at my disposal:

    • a dehumidifier
    • a small wet vac with a tube arm
    • various cleaning chemicals
    • various drying accoutrements (towels +)
    • a ceiling hatch if I feel brave (to access the other side of the ceiling)

    Debuffs:

    • I am short
