Dehumidifier question (which is v. much a "how long is a piece of string" one).
We have a Maeco 10l that we got a couple of months ago. Been using it on and off but even when we had it on for extended periods (36h +, and with three+ emptyings of the reservoir in that time) the humidity would never drop below ~58%, and quickly gets back to ~70%.
The house has always been a bit damp, but never had serious mould issues. Is it plausible that this is still all moisture coming from the building fabric itself? I'm worried that we're effectively just drawing damp air through a leak somewhere and effectively dehumidifying the outside and paying a decent amount in electricity bills for the privilege
