A little talk about bathroom exhaust fans… We were asked to help determine why the bathrooms in this home were getting mildew on the walls - even when running the exhaust fans during & after showering.
A few issues: The fans had aged & ready for replacement. But also: - when two fans are T’d together- neither will exhaust to the exterior as they should. - when the ducting is so long and coiled/kinked, the air flow is diminished. - uninsulated ducting will condensate. (Warm moist interior shower air in the thin ducting in a cold attic) this condensation build up will usually find its way out of the ducting and stain the ceiling below.

We installed new insulated ducting, shortened the length, and installed a second louvered vent on the exterior wall as well as 3 new exhaust fans. A good cleaning on the walls, and maybe a fresh coat of paint will have the bathrooms looking great. Also, a great idea for exhaust fans is to have them installed on a timer so that they will continue to run after you are out of the bathroom. Have a project that needs to be completed?
