What a dehumidifier does for Hitcham homes

Your Hitcham hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp drop noticeably in Hitcham.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
Running costs stay modest: 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 many days should I hire one for?
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.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
