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 Ulting?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while a flooded space in Ulting may need a week or more of continuous running.
Does this stop mould coming back in Ulting?
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.
