Question : i’m concerned about my homes ventilation, my bathroom molds from the ceiling and it seems….??
it seems like there’s no way for the steam to go outside, it seems it just stays in the attic, and also my kitchens ‘range hood’ is just like this little vent that doesn’t seem to work and it also seems like there’s no way for the stuff to go but the attic. Truly i think it doesn’t go anywhere it doesn’t even go to the attic- I THINK . who can i contact to help me out?? thanks

otherwise u NEED venting in ur bathroom-if ur DIY type put in a fan or fan/lite combo even if it only vents into attic (and ur right-not recommended) it will help.
reread: should be tubing in attic connecting fan to outside (usually in soffit).
Do you have a bathroom ventilation fan? If so and you have attic access, climb up into the attic and look for the ducting. Some unscrupulous contractors will vent to an attic space. This venting should go to the outside. Other options are that the venting that you do have is blocked. Vents can be through roof or side wall. If you can locate where the vents exit the building, turn on the bath fan and the range hood and look to see if the little flapper on the vent is opening. If not then the flapper is stuck, or the ducting is blocked/disconnected. Hope this helps.
