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 Mottingham.
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.
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 quickly will it dry my room?
You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Does this stop mould coming back in Mottingham?
