| If you see signs in your attic of dark spots or patches on
the interior attic roof and walls you already have a mold problem. To remove
the mold, spray on to the affected areas a bleach/water mixture to kill it.
After the bleach/water mixture has had a few minutes to work, scrub the
walls and roof with a coarse rag or brush to remove the mold. Make sure,
however, that you where a respirator when removing the mold. You don’t want
to be breathing in the mold spores. |

Installing a
Bathroom Ceiling Fan Vent
To vent a bathroom ceiling fan you
have a couple of options. You can either vent it out the top of the roof or vent
it out the soffit area of the roof. Venting it out the top of the roof is
functionally the best way as it enables a direct upward line from the bathroom
ceiling fan outlet to the roof. However, installing a roof vent takes some skill
and significant effort. Improperly installing a roof vent can lead to roof
leaks.
The other alternative for venting a bathroom ceiling fan is to install a
circular soffit vent into the soffit area of the roof.
|
The soffit is the area just under the eaves of the roof. Simply use a hole saw
to cut out the proper size circular hole. Then connect flexible vent tubing from
the bathroom ceiling fan to the newly installed soffit vent. When at your home
improvement store look for a soffit vent that has the same diameter dimensions
as the bathroom ceiling fan vent hole. Also, you may want to connect a short
length of tubular tin, with the same diameter dimensions, to the backside of the
soffit vent before installing the vent itself. This way the flexible vent tubing
can easily slide over the tubular tin and create a tight seal. A large tie wrap
can also help in creating a tight seal.
