Here we’ve installed a PIV system, which stands for Positive Input Ventilation.
The unit gently introduces fresh, filtered air into the property, usually from the loft space, and creates a slight positive pressure inside the home. This helps push out stale, moisture-heavy air through natural gaps and vents.
The main benefit is reducing condensation, mould growth, and that musty damp smell, especially in colder months when windows are kept shut.
It’s a low-energy, low-maintenance system that quietly improves air quality throughout the home, helping create a fresher, healthier living environment

Rising damp isn’t just cosmetic, it’s moisture travelling up through your walls, damaging plaster, flooring, and indoor air quality. Black mould is incredibly hazardous to your health.

In this job, we: ✔ Installed a new DPC injection to stop moisture rising through the masonry
✔ Removed contaminated plaster
✔ Reapplied a waterproof plaster system to protect the internal finish
The result? A dry, clean wall ready for decorating and built to last.
If you’re seeing tide marks, peeling paint, or blown plaster, don’t ignore it. It only gets worse.

Before ➜ After | Basement Transformation

This basement started out damp, cold, and unusable due to penetrating moisture through the masonry.
We applied our specialist tanking system directly to the walls to form a waterproof yet breathable barrier, followed by waterproof render and a smooth plaster finish.
The result is a clean, dry space ready to be decorated and put to use.

Before: Damp walls, staining, unusable space ❌
After: Waterproofed, plastered, dry and ready to use ✅✅✅

Another basement brought back to life.
If your basement suffers with damp or moisture ingress, Smart Property Care can help turn it into a dry, functional space.

Not all subfloors are created equal!

Standard chipboard can swell, weaken, and deteriorate if exposed to moisture during installation or from ongoing damp issues. That can lead to uneven floors, squeaks, and costly repairs later on.
That’s why we install moisture resistant CaberDek.

✔ Designed to resist moisture long after installation
✔ Strong tongue & groove system for added stability
✔ Long-lasting performance beneath your finished flooring

When you’re investing in your home, the structure underneath matters just as much as what you see on top.

Smart Property Care – built right from the ground up.
