The roof shingles are curled, in the process to replace the shingles. Is this due to incorrect inlet or outlet vents. Should I add the solar powered outlet vent or increase the inlet vents? If one goes by thumb rule of 1 vent per 300 sq ft, require only 4 inlet vents. (total 3 outlet vents, 7...

I'm installing a bathroom exhaust vent and want to make sure im doing it right. This is going into basically a metal storage building with a gambrel roof. I don't have enough space to go through the wall due to plumbing and venting being in the way. The issue is that the roof panels are...

We just had heavy rain and strong wind the whole night. This morning, my wife noticed a leak coming from the vent grills from the ceiling. I removed the cover and inspected, dry wall is dry, and leak seems to be directly from the vent. Is it possible that the rain got in the vent hood because...

How does one attach flexible 4 " vent pipe to this hood???

The installation instructions clearly say to align the front face of the door with the adjacent cabinet door faces--for aesthetic reasons, of course. But the installer installed the DW so that its front face extends about 1.5" beyond the faces of the adjacent cabinets. It looked bad, so I told...

Does anyone have a best practice or tip for securing a concentric vent for a tankless water heater? The instructions indicate a field supplied clamp/strap. I do not have Sheetrock in the room the vent will be installed in. Should I addd something solid in the inside so the 4” hole is present...

Hi all, I’m replacing this old bathroom vent (currently vents into attic) with a new larger Panasonic fan with a sufficient CFM rating for the master bathroom & will add a 6” insulated duct to vent it out of the roof. The current fan is 11” both sides whereas the new fan will need 11” on one...

We had a handyman install a vent over our stove, and the vent on the exterior of the house doesn't close all the way, even though there is a spring on the vent flap. You can see the gap in the photo. It causes a cold draft coming through the vent openings when the temperature dips, and this...

Hello! My home is 1 year old & I just discovered that we may have a mold problem. The substance is white & chalk like with some tints of yellow. We found it in the air duct, vents, utility room and garage. Can anyone identify it? Not sure if it’s related, but these yellow spots just appeared on...

Building a home in the arctic. See photo. Will have several feet of snow, winter temps to -30 F. Home is 24x40. Roof is 24x48, there is a 24x8' porch under the roof that will be open air. Continuous scissor trusses all 48', all the same at 5/12 pitch, with plywood sheathing and metal roof...

Howdy all, Newbie here that would love y'alls advice. I'm purchasing a Tuff Shed and am going to run electricity to it and insulate it to turn it into a home office. One conundrum I'm faced with is whether or not I need to vent the shed if I don't plan on having an attic. Here's the baseline...

I live in a very windy area (coastal Rhode Island) and the roof vents for my bathroom fans allow quite a bit of outside air infiltration, cold air in the winter being the most significant comfort problem. If you have any recommendations for solving this problem, your help would be greatly...

Hi - Does it matter if a gable vent is off center? The truss's I built have a center support which will force me to put the vent on either side of the support. Does it matter ? Thank you

Hi everyone, I added a new floor to a split level. The new wall is now right next to my main vent stack pipe (which isn't up to code) and on the low side of the roof. I need to move the pipe further toward the center of the roof and then exit and penetrate my new roof overhang and exit above...

My propane stove heater stopped working. It needs a new control board which costs more than I'm willing to pay, so I would like to remove it, but leave the option to install something else in the future. It is in a mobile home that is kind of remote, so I would like to do it myself to save...

I have a laundry which is not adjacent to any exterior walls making it difficult or impossible to install a room exhaust directly outside. We are experiencing musty odors in the laundry room. I know I cannot have the dryer vent share a bathroom exhaust fan vent. But can I have the laundry room...

Ahoy, thanks ahead to all who chime in on this. Kitchen soffits removed. Only thing found in them was this 2" vent for sink drain. Can this be re-routed through the top plate of this outside wall? Well, I know it CAN be done, but should it is the question.

Has anyone added floor vents to their attached low deck near the house to allow for ventilation? I have proper grading under the deck, however I am using 1x6 nominal IPE and am nervous about cupping. I'm wondering if there are vents like Qwickgrates...

We had a second story added to our house 28 years ago. The original first story attic had large vents on the gable ends. The second story is set back from the first story, so now I don't think these vents serve much of a purpose since there is no accessible attic – just a couple feet of empty...

Purchased a home with a broken microwave, which I finally decided on replacing. Turns out there's some really odd ducting happening and pretty sure the old "solution" didn't vent much at all. There's an off-center 7 inch diameter pipe protruding about 3 inches out, situated only 5 inches above...
