Your Otterburn 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 Otterburn.
How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which controls the spend. No need to leave it on full all day.
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 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.
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.
