PIV Installation in Camborne Mid-Terrace
The job
A landlord with a mid-terrace rental in Camborne had persistent condensation damp complaints from tenants - black mould on walls and ceilings despite the property being heated adequately. Cavity wall insulation had already been injected, but the condensation problem had got worse, not better. The landlord needed a long-term fix before the next tenancy.
What I did
I installed a Nuaire Drimaster Eco PIV unit in the loft space. The unit draws in and gently conditions outside air, creating a slight positive pressure in the property that pushes damp air out through natural gaps - the most effective solution for condensation damp in solid-wall or poorly-ventilated properties. I ran a new power spur from the upstairs landing circuit. Installation complete in half a day.
On the day
Loft access hatch was small and the roof pitch was steep - standard for the age and construction. Unit positioned at the apex with a short duct run to the landing outlet. No structural work required.
