How to make sure your airbricks aren’t blocked
Keeping your airbricks clear is essential, and regular maintenance is key.
A quick inspection can easily identify any buildup of debris, dirt, or even vegetation that may be blocking airflow. Clearing these blockages helps prevent serious issues such as:
Damp and condensation
Timber rot
Dry rot
Poor indoor air quality
Why are airbricks so important?
Airbricks provide vital ventilation to areas like underfloor voids, crawl spaces, and cavity walls. Without proper airflow, moisture can build up leading to structural damage and costly repairs over time.
Check your airbricks regularly
Remove leaves, soil or anything obstructing them
Don’t cover them during landscaping or home renovations
If you suspect that your property might have an unwelcome issue because of blocked airbricks and lack of ventilation, book a property survey below.
