Rubble stone was laid in lime mortar without vapor barriers. Water soaks into the stones themselves and into voids in the fill. Drying requires 7 to 14 days of industrial dehumidification to extract moisture from inside the stone mass.
Mold grows in damp rubble-stone foundations within 48 hours. Structural wood deteriorates. Stone foundations develop efflorescence (white salt staining) and spalling. Quick drying prevents all three problems.
