Condensation can become more noticeable in our homes during the winter months.
Colder temperatures cause condensation to build up on windows and walls, leading to problems such as damp and mould. As the months turn colder, many of us will be looking for ways to prevent condensation from causing costly damage and maybe even impacting our health.
TikTok user Willmill19 shared his hack for people struggling with damp and mould in their homes. He said that since installing a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit in his loft "mould never returned".

In the video, the TikTok user showed areas of his Victorian property that were previously affected by damp. He said: "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.
"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."
PIV units can range in cost with some available for £297.99 to £399.99 when searched online. However, TikTok users claim the product is "well worth the price".
One person wrote: "My partner installed one in my Victorian house three years ago, it's definitely the best £400 I've ever spent."
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."
