Your Thrupp hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
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 Thrupp.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while a flooded space in Thrupp 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.
