Your Glenluce hire questions

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 Glenluce.
Will it push my electricity bill up?

How quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Glenluce may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Glenluce lose the damp they feed on.
