Troubleshooting Your Bathroom Exhaust Fan


An issue with your bathroom exhaust fan can spell issues for that critical room. Exhaust fans evacuate the additional dampness that can develop in your restroom, which can cause form, mold, and rust. 


In case you see over the top wetness on the dividers and the mirrors in your washroom after a shower, there may be some problem with your bathroom exhaust fan. Here are some investigating tips you can attempt:

Expel the grille and attempt to discover and clear the obstruct with a brush, ideally one that is particularly to clean conduits. Keep in mind; you can without much of a stretch make openings in the conduit, so don't utilize anything with sharp parts to unclog your pipe. 

Once you've discovered the obstruct and cleared it, do the tissue test to guarantee you've gotten every one of the stops up out. You can likewise go outside and put a plastic sack over the vent hood. If the plastic pack loads with air promptly, your washroom fan is in working request.
