Why live with damp when we can solve it?

Musty smells? Cold damp walls? Condensation around windows? Discoloured walls? Deteriorating plaster and paint?

Damp is a big problem for many of us in the UK. It can form quickly and when it takes hold it can be horrible and harmful to live with as well as damaging to property.

Condensation damp is the most common form of damp. This occurs when moist air comes into contact with a colder surface and tiny drops of water appear. We can deal with it quickly, professionally and effectively using ventilation technologies such as extractor fans which eliminate excess moisture in the air. We’ll also save you time, money and safeguard your health in the process.

It is advisable for a professional to tackle a penetrating or rising damp issue to properly identify the root cause.

Damp Q&As

What is damp?

Damp is the presence of excess moisture in a room. There are three common types of damp – condensation, penetrative and rising damp.

What causes damp?

Damp can be caused by condensation forming, ground water rising up through walls or penetrating external walls through cracks or due to faulty guttering or roofing.

How can I prevent damp?

The right ventilation solution, expertly installed by EnviroVent, won’t give condensation the chance to form by introducing fresh clean air and allowing warm moisture-heavy air to escape outside. For penetrative and rising damp a professional can tackle the issue by properly identifying the root cause and offering the best solution.

What is condensation damp?

Condensation damp is the most common form of damp. It forms easily and quickly when moist air comes into contact with a colder surface like a wall, window, mirror, etc. The air can't hold the moisture and tiny drops of water appear. Correct ventilation is the most effective way of eliminating condensation damp.

How does ventilation solve damp?

Having an effective extractor fan can put a stop to condensation damp. Extractor fans eliminate excess moisture in the air which in turn removes condensation keeping your home well ventilated. High power inline extractor fans work hard at eliminating this moisture and keeping your home condensation free. 

Will a dehumidifier help my damp?

Dehumidifiers are often suggested as a way of dealing with condensation. While they might help a little bit, they do not offer a good long-term solution to damp. The only way to permanently address condensation is through improving air flow through the use of extractor fans or ventilation systems.
