How a dehumidifier works in Portgordon

Your Portgordon hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Tell us the room size and we'll match the right model for Portgordon.
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 long until I see a difference in Portgordon?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Portgordon can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Portgordon?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
