Lack of adequate ventilation and modern occupancy styles can lead to a build up of excessive humidity and moisture. This poor indoor air quality can lead to serious health issues for asthma and allergy sufferers and those with breathing difficulties.
In conjunction with leading ventilation specialists EnviroVent, we recommend two methods of mitigating the problem.
Positive Pressure Ventilation
This system draws in fresh filtered air from outside and creates a positive pressure to circulate it gently around the property and displace stale contaminated air. This reduces humidity, cures condensation and eradicates mould growth.
Ideal for high humidity locations, the EnviroVent filterless extract fans are small enough for the bathroom but have more than enough power for kitchens. These units are now the first choice for housing associations and will evacuate moisture laden air to the outside quickly and efficiently.
General tips on reducing condensation
- Improve ventilation
- Increase heating level
- Improve level of insulation
- Reduce moisture sources
- Improve insulation of external walls
Arrange a Condensation Survey
I'm sure that businesses come and go in your trade but your Company has been in existence for a long time. My recent experience demonstrates why this is the case.
Our 30 year guarantee had almost expired when we recently discovered woodworm infestation in the previously treated roofing joists. I understood why you wanted to charge the refundable fee for the survey and took the risk in requesting it. However, I anticipated that you would attempt to "wriggle" out of the guarantee and was ready for an argument with your surveyor. My cynicism was totally unfounded. Your surveyor efficiently identified the problem and confirmed that the area would be re-treated - I didn't have to say anything. Your operative subsequently did the treatment work efficiently and with a high standard of housekeeping. In both cases, they were friendly and courteous.
