Bathroom fan vents to attic?
Was it ever acceptable by code to vent a bathroom fan to an attic? I
was helping my cousin over the weekend with some minor renovations to her condo - she wanted to replace the fan in one of the bathrooms, and when I went up into the attic to unhook it I found that both it and the one in the master bathroom were not vented to the outside, but had a maybe 4' piece of dryer duct just tied to the trusses and venting into the attic. Originally I thought that this might have been a shortcut taken by the roofers that replaced her roof just before she moved in, but either they replaced none of the sheathing or all of it as it all looked consistent. Also I took a look at other similar units as I was walking down the street and I didn't see any vent caps in the likely locations on any of the roofs. The way she explained it to me was that anything done to the outside of any of the condos was taken care of by the association, not her (e.g. roofs, siding etc.) so knowing exactly who to yell at would be important. Worst case, I guess, would be that this was a shortcut taken by the original builder some 15-20 years ago, and it's not going to be fixed... nate |
