• Note: options available include
  1. covering the wet subfloor soil with plastic sheeting therefore reducing evaporation which in turn would reduce humidity and condensation on the cooler timber surfaces above.
  2. Fan forced ventilation to optimise air movement and eliminate dead spots.
  3. Replacing older style terracotta ventilators with bronze wire mesh ventilators.
