Your Knockdow 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 ease off in Knockdow.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
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 Knockdow?
