How dehumidifiers tackle damp in Digg

Common questions in Digg
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 Digg.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
Running costs stay reasonable: a domestic unit often runs a few hours a day thanks to the built-in humidistat, which switches it off once the target humidity is reached.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Delivery is usually available around Digg, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Digg?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Digg can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
