Bathroom exhaust fans

One of the most common issues I find during home inspections are bathroom exhaust fans that vent into the attic. Bathroom exhaust fans should vent to the outside through an approved vent either through the roof or the side of the home. You are taking all the moisture out of the bathrooms and venting it into the attic which can cause mold and damage the sheathing resulting in thousands of dollars in repairs and even worst causing health issues to anyone who has reactions to mold. If your one of those people who installed a bathroom exhaust fan and vented it into the attic it would be a good idea to go in the attic and see what is happening and correct the situation.
