We have been solving Condensation and Mould problems in Somerset & Dorset for over 10 years now and pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest technology. In medium to severe cases one of our most succesful specifications is the installation of a Positive Input Ventilation System (PIV).
We like to think of ourselves as Condensation control & Mould eradication specilaists as we are constantly searching manufacturers and suppliers for the latest methods and equipment to fix your condensation problems. Often we will recommend a DIY solution which may be as simple as some lifestyle changes but in severe cases mechanical intervention is the only solution.
During a survey at a property in Somerset we found a number of minor damp related issues but the big problem was clearly Condensation. A musty smell on entry to the property, mould on window frames and excessive mould spotting to walls and ceilings on the first floor.
We have been installing Drimaster PIV (Positive input ventilation) units for nearly a decade now and the reliability and effective control of condensation is second to none. The latest version the Drimaster Eco Heat comes with a 7 year manufacturers warranty and can be installed in around an hour.
Whilst it removes the symptoms of condensation such as mould growth and damp musty smells it also improves air quality take a look at this Nuaire infographic animation
In late 2015 we were asked to inspect and report on the condition of a single room basement in a large period property in Crewkerne.
With exposed stone walls and a rough rubble floor there was a musty smell and salt residue on most of the stonework. It was not viable to use even as an area of storage with high moisture meter readings throughout. There was no evidence of any physical water ingress and there had been no reported flooding in the buildings history.
