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.

It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Langham may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
