Good subfloor ventilation possesses a lot of benefits to the occupants and the building itself.

How does good subfloor ventilation do this?
Over the years undesirable substances exist and grow in a subfloor area such as mould. Mould interacts with humidity and damp in the subfloor area to let off an odour when inhaled is not only unpleasant to the senses but in a concentrated form can affect the health of the occupant or homeowner. Once the subfloor area is engulfed, this odour will penetrate into the living area through the flooring material. So why wait, when it gets to that point? Effective subfloor ventilation will rectify this unhealthy environment and situation by extracting the damp and odour by the use of fan-forced subfloor ventilation systems. Envirofan has been solving these kinds of problems for years. From the 1970’s Solarfan subfloor ventilation has been doing the same thing. So we have the expertise and experience over many years.

How does good subfloor ventilation help as a termite control mechanism?
There are many different reasons why termites invade a dwelling as they forage for their food source.

One primary attraction of termites is moisture. Even the ‘Termite Inspection Report’ AS 3660 will verify that attention must be given to good subfloor ventilation as this inhibits termites to establish themselves within the property. Does this mean that if I give attention to good subfloor ventilation that I will never have termites? There is no silver bullet, however by giving attention to effective subfloor ventilation this is one less thing that termites will be attracted to. Any reputable pest controller will give attention to subfloor ventilation as a holistic approach to termite inspections and eradication.

How does good subfloor ventilation help the building?
Building materials that are porous such as wood, will be damaged by damp (moisture) as the cells in this material expand become soft and disintegrate. Now this will not happen overnight but when exposed over longer periods moisture will have an impact.
