What Is a PIV Unit?
A PIV Unit, or Positive Input Ventilation system, is an innovative home ventilation solution designed to tackle one of the most common problems in UK homes, condensation, damp, and mould growth. By gently introducing a steady flow of filtered, fresh air into your home, a positive input ventilation unit creates a subtle pressure difference that forces stale, moist air out through natural leakage points.

Our Process
Why Should You Install a Positive Input Ventilation System?
How Does it Work?
Improve Indoor Air Quality and Health
Modern homes are tightly sealed, trapping pollutants, allergens, and dust inside. A PIV unit introduces a constant flow of clean, filtered air, helping to reduce airborne irritants that can worsen asthma or allergies.
Prevent Mould, Damp, and Condensation
Excess humidity is the root cause of many household problems, from black mould on walls to musty odours and damaged plaster.
Protect Your Property’s Structure and Value
Moisture doesn’t just affect comfort, it can gradually damage walls, ceilings, and insulation. Installing a professional PIV unit helps maintain the structural integrity of your property by preventing trapped dampness.
Enhance Energy Efficiency
Because a PIV system uses gentle, continuous airflow, it helps stabilise indoor temperatures and prevent cold spots caused by damp air.

What is a PIV Unit and how does it work?
A PIV Unit (Positive Input Ventilation) introduces filtered air into your home from the loft or an external source, gently pushing out stale, humid air. This process reduces condensation, damp, and mould while improving overall indoor air quality.
Are Positive Input Ventilation systems suitable for all homes?
Yes, positive input ventilation systems can be installed in most properties across the UK, including houses, flats, and bungalows. They’re especially effective in homes with recurring condensation, poor airflow, or limited extractor fans.
How long does a PIV unit installation take?
A standard PIV installation usually takes around 2–4 hours depending on property size and complexity. Our professional PIV unit installers complete every project neatly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to your home.
Will a PIV system stop mould and condensation?
Yes. A properly fitted PIV ventilation system continuously replaces damp air with clean, filtered air, preventing condensation buildup and reducing the risk of black mould. It’s one of the most effective long-term solutions for moisture control.
What is the average PIV unit cost in the UK?
The PIV unit cost can vary depending on your property type, layout, and the model of positive input ventilation system required. At Total Damp Repair, we discuss the final PIV unit installation price after a detailed consultation and property survey to ensure complete accuracy and transparency. Every quote is bespoke, no hidden fees, just clear, honest pricing for the best results.
