Your Foston hire questions
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 Foston.
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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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 Foston?
You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
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.
