damp wall

[lise08]

I have just removed some tiles off my bathroom wall and set inside the partition wall is the plumbing for a shower. The plumbing has been leaking water into the partion wall and all the packed stuff inside the wall is sopping wet and falling out. Is it possible to remove this wet stuff and replace it?? Do i need to let it dry out? The shower isn't being used anymore. any helpful ideas anyone? Thanx!

I'd suggest you need to locate where these pipes come into the wall - eg do they come upwards from skirting / below floorboards, or down from ceiling - either way, to secure the leaking you need to inset a stop valve on each pipe so these cn be left in the 'closed' position.
This will allow the wet area to dry. When it is dry you or a plasterer will be able to ascertain hown much is perished and needs replacement.
