Bathroom ventilation site checklist
- Room dimensions, ceiling height and shower enclosure
- Fan label, condition, controls and observed airflow
- Duct diameter, length, bends and insulation where accessible
- Outdoor termination and working backdraft damper
- Peeling paint, staining, soft drywall or recurring condensation
Start with the moisture pattern
A replacement fan should be selected after documenting the room and how moisture behaves. Persistent condensation may reflect low airflow, a restricted duct, short run time or another moisture source, so the inspection should not assume the fan is the only problem.
Check the complete air path
The grille, fan housing, duct connections and exterior hood work as one system. Accessible sections should be checked for crushed duct, excessive bends and disconnections. The room also needs a path for replacement air when the door is closed.
Sequence finish repairs correctly
Roof or plumbing leaks must be corrected separately. Damaged areas should be evaluated and ready for reconstruction before new drywall, primer or bathroom paint is installed, reducing the chance that a fresh finish hides an unresolved condition.

What to inspect
Confirm the fan exhausts outdoors instead of into the attic or another enclosed space.
Planning the work
Review duct length, bends, termination, backdraft damper and replacement-air path.
Avoiding repeat problems
Ventilation improvements should accompany repairs to recurring peeling paint, mildew or moisture damage.
