Common Residential Inspection Issues:
Bathroom Exhaust Fans Depositing Air into the Attic Space
Using your attic to get rid of the exhaust from your bathroom fan is a bad idea in many ways. You should avoid using your attic as a receptacle for bathroom exhaust because building codes prohibit it. Plus, you may effectively ruin your attic if you opt to use it for that purpose.
Many homeowners may look at their attic as a potential disposal spot for their bathroom exhaust. Bathroom exhaust is typically very humid because it includes the residue from your warm showers. The way your bathroom is designed can also lead to the production of more moisture. All that moisture going from your bathroom to your attic is a problem. The porous wood in your attic is going to absorb that moisture. After some time, you may find pockets of mold growing in your attic.
The roof is probably the spot most often used to house the exhaust duct. It certainly works for that purpose but you need to be careful when installing the duct there. Seal the opening properly so water doesn’t leak from there whenever there’s rain in your area.
Homeowners can also use the soffit if they need a spot to run their bathroom duct through. The soffit is a good spot because it’s accessible and any opening there is easy to conceal.
Just remember that the vent should go through your soffit and end up outside. You don’t want the exhaust releasing inside the soffit because that will be bad for your attic.
