Damp and mould in homes are more than just unsightly—they pose serious health risks and can cause lasting property damage. For social housing providers, these issues have never been more urgent. The introduction of Awaab’s Law requires landlords to act quickly and effectively when damp and mould are identified, ensuring every tenant lives in a safe, healthy environment.
At EFAM Air, we’re ready to help social housing providers meet these new challenges head-on. With our free home ventilation surveys and tailored ventilation solutions, we make it easier for landlords to comply with the law while improving residents’ comfort and wellbeing.
Why Ventilation Is the Key to Compliance
Effective ventilation is one of the most powerful defences against damp and mould. Moisture from everyday activities like cooking, showering, and drying clothes can quickly build up without adequate airflow—creating perfect conditions for mould growth and respiratory issues. A properly designed and maintained ventilation system prevents this by ensuring fresh, balanced air throughout the property.
How EFAM Air Supports Social Housing
Our expert Ventilation Surveyors conduct detailed assessments of each property’s airflow. This includes:
-
Initial inspection of vents, fans, and insulation.
-
Airflow analysis using specialist equipment to spot stagnant areas.
-
Occupancy assessment to identify lifestyle or usage factors that may affect air quality.
-
Comprehensive reporting and recommendations, from simple extractor upgrades to mechanical ventilation systems such as Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) or MVHR units.

By addressing the root cause of damp and mould through improved ventilation, EFAM Air helps landlords safeguard both tenants and property assets.
