Bathroom and laundry ceiling ventilation from Doctor Damp

In European countries and other places in the world, regulations require that all bathroom fans be exhausted to the exterior of the home.

In Australia however, we exhaust installed fans into the ceiling space not to the exterior of the home. Exhausting the fan to the ceiling space has a number of major disadvantages:

1. It allows vermin to access your bathroom through the vent.
2. The continual exposure of the roof insulation to dampness causes it to lose some of it's anti-vermin properties.
3. By constantly exposing the roof timbers to dampness you increase the risk of termite infestation.
4. As fibreglass can have health problems associated with it, an open ceiling fan allows minute particles of insulation to be blown into your laundry or bathroom.

Dr Damp handles the above problems by venting your bathroom or laundry ceiling fan externally. We can also install back draft shutters to prevent insects and spiders from traveling through the fan into the home. Additionally, we can install heat lamps to reduce dampness in your bathroom or laundry thus help in the long term to protect your investment against termite attack and other moisture related problems.
