I NEED a dehumidifier

[Tank]

we had a issue and used a dehumidfier and it caused more problems than good (the underlay wont dry in time and will rot) - Get a carpet blower as linked to above, pull up the carpet at the end an let it blow over under the carpet but above the underlay.

Good luck.

Landlord's responsibility?

Yep - i got my landlord to get me a dehumidifier after i told her the house was going to collapse due to rot.
That sucker works 24/7
made a huge improvement

+1.

Pull up the carpet to let it dry if there is underlay. Underlay in the garage? I bet Col's got curtains in his room too.

You need heat, more than dry air too.

That's what I told the wife about the bathroom. She's being quite unreasonable about it...

Tell her that you need to keep an eye on the wall framing. "Leaky building syndrome" likes to attack these areas...

Depends on how hungry I am at the time, if I think I can eat heaps, then I will cut it so there is more....

Fark, who pays your power bill? A dehumidifier running 24/7 would cost a packet.

Not at all. Mine runs nightly from 12pm to 8am then from 11am to 5pm.

They're normally only 250W for the compressor and 30W for the fan but the compressor doesn't run continuously - you're lucky if the compressor is running more than 40% of the time. Which means to run it 24/7 for 28 days is 87kWh or about $16/mth. You save more than that in lower heating costs from the dry air and furnishings.
