Sub Floor Ventilation Melbourne by Envirofan

The purpose of a sub-floor ventilation system for your home is to extract the damp humid air and to displace it with fresh air from and into the sub-floor area.

The same principle also applies to heat. Powered roof ventilation systems extract the hot air while allowing cooler air to enter the roof space.

These different forms of ventilation create a healthy home environment by preventing the build up of moisture, gases, pet dander, mould and any other undesirable odours that may be present.

Our expertise for the Melbourne area is mainly in subfloor ventilation and priority needs it to be given serious attention, as damp and organic substances (mould, mildew and fungi) will react with one another to produce a pungent odour which will consume the subfloor area and penetrate into the habitable (living) area.

This will have a deteriorating effect on the air quality inside the home, which will ultimately impact on the health of the occupants. Family members who have a predisposition to respiratory illnesses are likely to experience these problems first hand.

However all is not lost. Envirofan subfloor ventilation systems will treat the source of the problem by extracting damp and humidity from under the house and ridding it to open air, away from the dwelling, which will change the air many times over in the subfloor area, creating a drier environment, which ultimately will return indoor air quality to acceptable and healthy levels.

Do we need to discuss the relationship between damp and termites? Quite simply damp encourages termites! Therefore the drier the subfloor area the less attractive this will be for termites.

The 'Termite Inspection Report' of AS3660 states that "ventilation in the subfloor area is particularly important, as it minimises the opportunity to establish themselves within the property."

Utilising Envirofan subfloor ventilation systems is a two pronged solution, with benefits to the health of the family and the home.
