Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp ease off in Embo Street.
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 several days to a couple of weeks.
