I noticed huge condensation on one of the bathrooms (used by my teenager!). Water actually not just makes wall wet it actually comes as drops near windows and walls. I did all basic checks listed below, all looking good ..
1. Checked fan, which works fine makes noise when bath light is on and goes off 2-3 minutes after switching off light
2. Checked fan while steamy inside and noticed visible hot air exit from fan
3. Checked ducting and seems to be intact, now planned to use tape to ensure duct end covers well with light end
What I could not check are..
1. If fan end is dirty and stop exit or steam (as no access), but from distance I can see hot air exiting
2. Couldn't check for any holes in duct from light end to fan end?
Other doubt I have is about the bathroom paint, its not seems to absorb any water..Is that expected..? Paint seems to be peeling off due to condensation in the bathroom. Not sure if previous owner used wrong paint..?
See some photos..
My other bath is similar aged and similar construction no problem at all. everything is this toilet may be 10 year old.
Any suggestions..? tips..? Thanks
