What is a dehumidifier actually for? I know it extracts moisture from the air but does it prevent damp?

I own a property that is used infrequently as a workplace & I had a problem there with damp due to lack of ventilation. Popped in a dehumidifier & problem solved!! No more patches of mould or damp walls. Wonderful & fairly economical when you weigh up the problem it’s solving - and solve it it certainly does.

For about three days nonstop at first then regularly after that opening all the windows on nice days helps to have it on nice days nonstop at first then regularly.
The airfurnishingswalls etc youd have to have to ventilate.

I guess as you can tell from the others the answer to your question is yes, however you are only treating the symptoms not the disease. it would be far better to repair the cause of the damp in the first place then use the de humidifier to dry out the room. without treatment the structure will deteriorate rapidly and you will eventually need more and more de humidifiers to keep up! very expensive!
