Sub-Floor Ventilation
Envirofan's fan-forced sub-floor ventilation systems combat rising damp by extracting moisture-laden air from beneath structures. This prevents timber decay, eliminates musty odours, and improves indoor air quality. The low-voltage systems operate quietly while protecting against structural damage caused by humidity buildup.
DIY Installation Kits
Our pre-configured ventilation kits allow homeowners to implement effective moisture control solutions without specialist contractors. Complete with all necessary components, these systems reduce installation costs while maintaining professional-grade performance for long-term sub-floor health.
Solar-Powered Systems
Solar-compatible ventilation units utilise renewable energy for continuous damp prevention with minimal environmental impact. These systems maintain optimal sub-floor conditions using sustainable power sources, significantly reducing operational costs compared to traditional electric alternatives.
Pest Control Solutions
By maintaining dry sub-floor environments, our ventilation systems naturally deter termites and other pests. This proactive approach complements standard pest control measures, addressing moisture factors that attract destructive infestations in building foundations.
Moisture Appraisal
We provide comprehensive moisture evaluations to identify sub-floor humidity issues before implementing ventilation solutions. This diagnostic service determines optimal system placement and capacity requirements for effective long-term moisture management in residential and commercial properties.

A must for musty houses
Quick deliver, easy installation,great follow up. Have connected to solar for daytime running and mains power on a timer for nighttime running when no sun in Melbourne. Found great results With less musty smells inside house after 2-3 days of running. Expect this will get better with more time.

Christine from Envirofan is EXCEPTIONAL! Her customer service is second to none and she well and truly exceeds expectations, going above and beyond to help her customers. That has been our experience! The fans themselves have been just as good, drying out our very damp subfloor (some would have said wet!) in just a few months, allowing us to also extend our termite inspections from 6 monthly to the usually recommended, annual inspection. The fans are super quiet, very cheap to run and extremely effective. I cannot recommend Christine and Envirofan highly enough 5 stars is simply not enough

Report
We bought a double brick house that had some moisture under the floor, with a nasty musty smell developing in the bedroom. We did have pre purchase building inspection, that advice proved to be very disappointing with respect to the subfloor moisture problems. The subfloor space was restricted, so we arranged for a builder to crawl under the house, taking a number of photos, numbered according to a floor plan of the house. Lots of water very damp soil, with moisture seen on the terra cotta pipes under the 3 bathrooms - looked like the pipes were broken or blocked and leaking. Very disappointed
