Your Great Orton hire questions

It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?

How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Great Orton may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
