How do you vent a bathroom fan without access?

If you've ever found yourself in the unfortunate position of needing to vent your bathroom fan, but not having any access to it - take heart. In this post, we'll show you how to do just that!

First, figure out where the air gets into the house and go there with a bucket or other container. The more flexible and lighter weight the container is, the easier it will be for you to get all over your house without breaking anything.

Once at that point, find something like an old towel or blanket-anything that can cover up most of what's coming out-and put it on top of a table or chair.

Make sure whatever covering material you use won't be harmed by water if things happen to spill on them.

1. Find the vent pipe that goes to your bathroom

2. Drill a hole in the pipe, making sure it's not too close to the end of the pipe

3. Insert a PVC or ABS venting coupler into the drilled hole and attach it with screws

4. Cut out an opening in your ceiling so you can see where you made your cuts on step 3

5. Install metal flashing around all cut areas and seal with roofing tar or silicone caulk

6. Use duct tape to cover any gaps between flashing and ceiling tiles

Conclusion:

If you want to replace the exhaust fan in your bathroom but don't have access to the attic, we can help. The first step is accessing where the old fan was located and removing it from its housing.

Next, set up a new vent on top of an existing one or into another space such as window well. From there, install a new exhaust fan with a power cord attached that reaches above roof line if possible.

Finally, attach wiring for this new device and make sure all electrical connections are sound by checking them with a voltage tester before turning anything back on!
