Common questions in Broadwater
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a unit suited to cool spaces and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Broadwater.
How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which controls the spend. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Yes — to dry out a cellar or get through a damp spell, a few days' hire is often enough and costs far less than buying.
How quickly will it dry my room?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
