Your Picton hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Picton.
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 many days should I hire one for?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Picton can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Picton stop spreading.
