A social media influencer has shared his ‘game changing’ tips on how to cure damp, mould and condensation in your home.
With condensation becoming more noticeable in the home during the winter months, a TikTok user has shared a genius way of getting rid of it.
Homeowners may notice that because of the colder temperatures, condensation tends to build up around the walls and windows.
It can lead to problems such as damp and mould, and if not treated properly, may go on to cause costly damage and seriously impact your health.

Since having the Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit installed in his loft, he says that the “mould never returned”.
In the video, he shows his followers an area of his Victorian property that was previously affected by damp, saying: “I used to have a dehumidifier and tried all of those little tricks with mould remover.
“But last winter I installed a PIV unit up in the loft.”
Explaining exactly what the unit does, he said: “It takes filtered air from the loft and just has a constant blast of filtered air that comes out.
“That slight bit of filtered air will make the house ever so slightly positive pressure and constantly ventilates our house.”
While the cost of a PIV unit can range in price – anywhere between £297.99 to £399.99 – they may well be worth their cost.
TikTok users have gone to comment on the clip, saying that the product is “well worth the price” and a good investment.

One person wrote: “My partner installed one in my Victorian house three years ago, it’s definitely the best £400 I’ve ever spent.”
While a second wrote: “Had the same issue and installed a PIV unit – no more condensation.”
Another user added: “My partner fitted a PIV in our old stone cottage because our bedroom walls would be dripping in the mornings. GAME CHANGER.”
And someone else wrote: “This is what we fitted, 1930’s built house, terrible damp for years. Been dry as a bone ever since, had it in about 6 years.”
