However, opting for such extensive work will need you to dish out a considerable amount of money.
On the other hand, dehumidifiers can give you the same result against mold growth in the fraction of those extensive renovation plans. A dehumidifier is not an ultimate solution against mold. But it is certainly the most cost-effective one.
