Common questions in Foss
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Give us the rough square metres and we'll match the right model for Foss.
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.
Can you deliver to Foss?
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 long until I see a difference in Foss?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Foss may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
A dehumidifier tackles the cause: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it struggles to come back in Foss.
