Original caption
This is why venting your bathroom exhaust fan to the exterior is so important. While it doesn’t always create an issue, sometimes it can result in widespread damage like this. In this case, the contractor never properly vented the bathroom exhaust fan. Instead, it discharged directly into the soffit for 11 years. With regular shower use, moisture was continuously vented into the attic, leading to significant humidity buildup and extensive mold growth. #Contractor #BathroomVent #Mold #Siding #MoldRemediation
