Properly Exhausted Bathroom Vents

Nov 21, 2023 | Roofing | 0 comments

A common problem found on many existing roof systems are bathroom vents that are not properly exhausted. Bathroom exhaust fans must be vented out of the attic to prevent mold, moisture damage, and ice dams. Installing a dedicated vent with a damper on your roof along with an insulated duct in the attic which connects the bathroom fan to the roof vent installed on the roof, is the best solution for this problem. We often come across improperly vented bathroom vents blowing air into the attic unvented trapping moisture and heat in the attic. This easy correction is often overlooked by many roofing contractors who do not perform an attic inspection with their roof evaluation.

Post-Installation Inspection & Warranty Registration

Question: What should I do after the roof is installed?

  • Walk the roof perimeter with your contractor (from ground level) for final review.
  • Request all warranty documentation (manufacturer and workmanship).
  • Register your warranty with the manufacturer (often the contractor does this on your behalf). Manufacturers like GAF highlight this as part of a proper system installation. GAF
  • Take photos of the new roof for insurance records.
  • Review maintenance instructions: cleaning gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and checking attic ventilation.
