Hello! Here's my situation....
We have a 2 story house with walkout basement. There are 4 bathrooms in the house. All of the bathrooms have exhaust fans installed in the ceilings, but the issue is I can not access anything other than the fan itself to see if they are properly vented out of the house and not just in the walls.
We are noticing a lot of humidity and condensation building up even with the fans running during showers, etc. It's so bad it escapes into the bedroom and hallways. I have also discovered over the past year (since we moved in) mold starting to form on the ceilings and walls just above the showers in two of the bathrooms.
Is there a way to test to see where the fans vent? We have stacks on top of the house, but I am not sure what they are for, or what I am looking for exactly in regards to exhaust fan venting. I do not have access to the vents on the roof nor do we have an accessible attic space. Our house was built in the mid 90's by the previous homeowner. He did all the work himself, and we already know that most of the work he has done is NOT to code. We've already had to fix a ton of problems and fire hazards.
Thanks for the help!
