Lots of snow this year and my exhaust fan in the bathroom is leaking. Cleared snow off the roof, still ice?
Mar 20, 2007 by archerkd | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Wondering if there could be damage happening inside the attic or if it is just coming down inside. What can I do. The ice build up won't come off.
That happened to us too. My husband just got on the roof and cleaned up the ice and snow. it may be just the ice build up causing the water to come in. Have you checked your attic? on a warm day, climb up on your roof and see if you can get the ice off the vents.

Its probably condensation that has formed over the winter months, now that it is warming up it is melting. You might wanna try insulating the exhaust pipe if you can reach it

iT SOUNDS LIKE AN ICE DAM...THIS ISNT GOOD. wATER WILL FIND A WAY IN YOUR ATTIC..IT MAY FREEZE ALONG THE WAY. KINDA SOUNDS LIKE WHAT YOUR DEALING WITH.
HOWEVER IT SHOULD MELT PRETTY QUICKLY WITH THE SUN SHINNING ON IT. bY ANY CHANGE DO YOU HAVE ANY PLUMBING PIPES IN YOUR ATTIC THAT COULD HAVE FROZE WHICH CAUSED THE ICE DAMN??

Like Robert S said more than likely the pipe needs insulation also u may want to make sure theirs ample insulation in the attic where it terminates and make sure theirs proper airflow thru soffit vents.

Can I exhaust 2 different bathroom exhaust fans to the same roof vent?
Mar 06, 2007 by bleads | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have 2 bathrooms on our 2nd floor that exhaust directly into the attic. The idiots that installed them did not vent them to the outside. I have asked a roofer to install flashing for one 3" vent pipe. Can I run both exhaust fans to this vent or will it just exhaust into the other bathroom? I was thinking of whying the 2 ducts to the roof vent.
If you attatch the vents to a "Y" shaped duct. The "Y" will be upside-down with the roof vent at the top. There should already be a flapper on each fan unit that doesn't allow "back draft".

one roof vent for two bath exhaust fans?
May 16, 2008 by bookworm2111 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
hi,
i currently have two adjacent, unvented bathrooms in my house, one having an exterior window, the other with no windows. i would like to install vent fans for both baths, exhausting out through the roof. my question is: can i "y" the two vent pipes to one roof vent so as to not have to cut two holes in my roof? the two fans installed in the bathrooms would be 6 - 8 feet apart once installed in the ceiling.
any advice appreciated,

How do I stop a drippy bathroom exhaust fan?
Dec 28, 2006 by jewlzneeds2no | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
The exhaust fan in my bathroom drips onto the bathroom floor constantly during the winter. I have had a new roof turban installed where it vents thinking it would solve the problem by allowing the condensation to vent up through the roof, but it continues to drip down through the exhaust fan and into my bathroom. It drips whether the fan is running or not running. It's very annoying as the fan is located in the ceiling in front of my sink and I can't stand there without getting water dripped down my back, not to mention the mess it makes on the floor and my rugs.
Any suggestions?
The above answers are good. Also, please check the owners manual for your fan, or contact manufacturer's customer service.

What are some options for installing an exhaust fan in the bathroom?
Oct 25, 2008 by Suzanne P | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I am adding a shower to an existing half-bath in an older home. I know I need an exhaust fan to help with the moisture, but I'm not sure how to vent it outside because cutting into the roof is not an option and the soffit covers boards and is therefore not vented.
The house is vinyl-sided. Would it be better to cut a hole in the boards and vent a section of the soffit, or will venting the fan through a sidewall work?
I had a very similar situation in my home about 10 years ago. All homes have openings where air vents through the attic to the outside. It is a required in order to have proper heating and cooling in the living space below. In fact, its standard building code. You can route the flexible 4" duct to any of the existing openings and secure it with electrical wire staples or screws/brackets (all available at your local hardware store). This is a very easy project and can be accomplished on a Saturday afternoon with basic tools. One additional comment I'd make....if you decide to vent straight up to the roof vents, make sure to have a "U" shape in your flexible duct routing (i.e., don't make the overall length too tight). This will avoid any potential water from draining backward into your beautiful new ceiling vent in the bathroom.
