Call or Text 608-574-8769Having an exhaust fan in your bathroom isn't a requirement, but not having one can create problems. Exhaust fans are so common that many homeowners purchasing new houses expect it, therefore contractors will include them in the construction design. However, not everyone buys a brand-new house for their family. Maybe you prefer a historic home or are planning to build your own. In this case, you may be deciding whether installing an exhaust fan is worth the extra costs.
What's the Alternative?
When following local codes, you have one of two choices when it comes to ventilating your bathrooms — an exhaust fan or a window. Unfortunately, most people don't have a habit of leaving their bathroom windows open. Without proper ventilation, moisture builds up quickly and can cause lasting damage to your home.
Benefits of Installing an Exhaust Fan
Mold Growth Prevention
When you can get rid of excess humidity in a timely manner, you'll avoid mold growth associated with damp areas. This is particularly helpful for small bathrooms where the wet, hot environment can become a breeding ground for bacterial and fungal proliferation.
Protects Wallpaper, Paint & Surfaces
Saying goodbye to dampness immediately will help you protect wall treatments, fixtures, tile, cabinet doors, fabric shower curtains and countertops from unnecessary damage. Steamy baths can make wallpaper peel, alter paint color or wood stains, affect tile grout and more.
Saves on Renovation Costs
Having an exhaust fan will save you the trouble of replacing and renovating your bathroom prematurely.
