Remodeled bathroom ventilation mistake caught in attic

It is not recommended to terminate a bathroom vent in an attic. Bathroom vents should be properly vented to the outside of the building to prevent moisture buildup and potential mold growth. When bathroom vents are terminated in an attic, the moisture from the bathroom can accumulate in the attic space and lead to structural damage, mold growth, and other indoor air quality issues.

Instead, bathroom vents should be vented through the roof or through a sidewall of the building, depending on the design and layout of the home. Proper ventilation helps to remove excess moisture from the bathroom and maintain healthy indoor air quality.

It is important to follow building codes and industry standards when installing and venting bathroom vents to ensure proper ventilation and prevent potential health and safety issues. If you're not sure about the proper way to vent a bathroom in your home, it's best to consult a licensed contractor or a building inspector for guidance.
