How much does it cost to run per day?

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 Port Elphinstone may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
