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 Shobrooke.

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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?

How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Shobrooke may need a week or more of continuous running.
