Safe Luxury

wet wall. Is it safe to turn the wall mounted electric heater on?

Allegedly it rained down the chimney and a massive wet patch is showing on the wall (about a meter high from the ground). On the same spot I have a wall mounted electric heater and a socket. Am I safe to turn the heating on?! (I won't know how else to dry that wall...) many thanks!

1. no get it looked at
2. NO. WAIT FOR THE WET WALL TO DRY OUT. And then sort out why water's getting into your home before turning on any sort of heat, powered by electricity!!
3. NOT, Use a fan plugged in from a dry wall. Get the leak fixed. You may have to remove the dry wall board and repair the leak. Depends on where the water is coming from.
4. No you will have to ask someone in to look at it. Water can come from the remotest of places.
5. Electrocution may be in order. NOT SAFE, it is just the thing water and electricity mix well. Forced air space heaters are in order.
