Common questions in Wick
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 Wick.
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 Wick?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Wick can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Wick?
