I need to vent my bathroom fan through my crawl space (15 feet wide). Im worried about the sloping of the duct, can you look at the attached picture and see if I'll be okay?
What worries me is that my upstairs bathrooms vents connect to roof vents. Sometimes the duct falls off of the vent and then its hanging in the attic. So the duct goes about 5 feet up, then 5 feet down (because there is a support halfway up). When this happens, I get water that runs back down and ends up on my bathroom ceiling. I was told this is because the line goes up then down. So now I'm worried about doing this in my basement.
BTW, I really don't have another choice. I *could* go through the basement wall, but the wall has ceramic tile all the way up to the ceiling and I really dont want to mess with cutting it out. I'd rather just go up and over the wall.
Thanks!
