Your Orcop hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
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 Orcop.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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 it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
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?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Orcop can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
