How to prevent exhaust fans from dripping water in cold weather
by C. Dwight Barnett
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
NEWS SERVICE
Q: During cold weather, water drips from the
exhaust
fans in the
bathrooms.
The ducts
are metal
and
are
connected
together to
form one
duct to go
through
Barnett
the roof to
vent outside. About 3
years ago I had a new roof
with
a
ridge
vent
installed, and this problem has developed since
that time. Previously I
had a roof exhaust fan.
How can I stop this leak?
A: Moisture from the
bath
fans
condenses
inside the pipes in colder
weather and drips back
through the fans. I don’t
think adding the ridge
vent in place of a powerventilated
fan
would
make any difference.
The power fan generally does not operate in the
winter. You might want to

Top-rated contractors tell
us that kitchen and bath
upgrades generally land
near the top of the list of
projects that earn the best
return on investment. After
all, highly rated real estate
agents say potential buyers
spend more time in the
kitchen of a home being
shown than any other room.
The most you’re likely to
recoup from any project is 85
percent of what you spent.
From surveying top remodelers and real estate pros,
our team found that these
are typical returns on invest-
check to see if the roofers
covered
the
opening
where the bath fans vented through the roof. Bath
fans
and
ventilated
kitchen range hoods must
vent by means of a metal
pipe to the exterior either
through the roof or
through a sidewall to the
exterior.
Bathroom vent fans
cannot terminate in an
attic or vent to the soffit
area (overhang) where
humidity buildup can
cause mold and decay.
Too many times I have
seen damage to the roof’s
decking where fans are
improperly vented. The
dampness will also soak
into the attic’s insulation,
providing an ideal environment for mold and
ceiling stains to appear.
Each fan should have
its own opening to the
exterior. The separate
pipes should not be joined
together, because one fan
could push the moistureladen air through the vent
pipe to the other bathroom’s fan. Most bathroom fans have a one-way
gate valve so that air
flows out but not in, but
the
gate
valve
can
become stuck open due to
the buildup of dirt and
lint. The pipes should be
insulated in the attic
space to slow the condensation process.
In addition to your
question concerning vent
fans, in most homes there
is either a vented or an
unvented range hood. If
the hood is vented and
open to the attic, a grease
fire could naturally be
sucked up through the
greasy pipe to the attic. If
your home has a vented
range hood, make sure
the hood vents through
the roof with a vent termination designed for that
particular hood.
ment for common projects:
■ Kitchen: 85 percent.
Tip: Limit spending to 20
percent of your home’s
value.
■ Bathroom: 80 percent.
Tip: Current trends favor
larger showers over tubs.
■ Deck: 80 percent. Tip:
Before building, study what
other homes in your area
have done.
■ Siding: 80 percent, and
replacement windows, 70
percent.
Once you know what you
want to do — assuming your
budget’s in order and financing is arranged — the next
big step is making sure to
hire the right contractor.
Plan to get several estimates
from businesses that have
good online reviews from
local consumers and are
appropriately
licensed,
insured and bonded. Ask for
and contact references, and
make sure all details —
including payment terms
and schedule — are in writing.
Good luck with your project. Let us know how it turns
out!

Keep an eye on water and vegetables
by Debbie Arrington
THE SACRAMENTO BEE
As we enter summer,
drought awareness will get
ramped up as we try to
squeeze the most out of
every drop. Keep your vegetable garden consistently
watered (twice a week irrigation for most veggies is
sufficient), mulched and
weeded. Water before 8
a.m. to reduce chances of
fungal infection and to conserve moisture. Monitor
soil moisture before turning
on the hose; you may be
able to skip a day here or
there. Those water savings
all add up. But if your
tomatoes are wilting, give
them a drink.
■ It’s not too late to get a
few more veggies in the
ground. Plant seeds for
corn, lima beans, green
beans, okra, parsnips,
pumpkin, summer and winter squash and watermelon.
■ Harvest vegetables
promptly to encourage
plants to produce more.
Squash especially tends to
grow rapidly in hot weather; keep an eye on the zucchini.
■ In the flower garden,
plant seeds for alyssum,
celosia, marigolds, periwin-
kles, sunflowers and zinnias.
■ Pinch back chrysanthemums for bushy plants
and more flowers in September.
■ Cut back Shasta
daisies after flowering to
promote a second bloom in
fall.
■ Feed camellias, azaleas and other acid-loving
plants. Make sure to water
well (and deeply) before
fertilizing. Otherwise, you
may harm instead of help
your shrubs.
