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 Woodside?

Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: dry the air and the black spots in Woodside stop spreading.
