This Roof Vent Mistake Caused a Bathroom Leak

A bathroom leak doesn’t always start where you think.

On this job site, our team found that the bathroom fan was incorrectly vented through an attic exhaust vent. Instead of exhausting outside properly, moisture from the bathroom was making its way back into the attic and contributing to damage inside the home.

The fix? Installing a dedicated vent for the bathroom fan directly above the fan location, while keeping the attic exhaust vent functioning the way it was designed.

Proper ventilation is a critical part of protecting your home. When vents aren’t installed correctly, moisture can build up where you can’t see it until damage appears.
