Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
If the need is short-term, hiring is the smarter move: no expensive unit sitting idle afterwards, and you get the right model for the problem in Pinmore straight away.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Pinmore may need a week or more of continuous running.
