Why does my new home have to be run in?
Every new home contains up to 5,000 litres of water. This is because many of the materials used in building a home are mixed using water e.g. concrete, mortar, screed and plaster. You may not be able to see it or feel it and it won't do you any harm but it does need to evaporate away. This process is known as 'drying out'.
