Now climate change is showing how damaging the increased volume of water and effects of higher consistent wind speeds affects our buildings. Therefore, the importance of a building being well maintained is essential. But equally as essential is recognising and thinking ahead of how we can prevent moisture / water and ingress and reduce this by shedding water away from our properties or when rain drives against the fabric it does not get absorbed or if it does how best will it evaporate. This principle applies to whether it is roofs, walls, basements and ground surrounding buildings and the direction of the fall.
So where possible without reducing ground levels we have created the air drain to create the environment for:
- Natural evaporation to brickwork at ground level. Dryer walls are warmer walls.
- There will be less risk of condensation and mould growth which contributes to poor health.
- Saves energy costs.
- Reduces cold bridging internally.
- By improving / increasing the path of least resistance it encourages natural movement of harmful ground gases to and around the property such as Radon particularly in suspended floor construction when most external areas are paved.
