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 Keillmore.
How much does it cost to run per day?
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.
