Unfortunately these codes seem to have come after bathroom fans became popular, so it's not uncommon to find them venting to nowhere. If the installer took the time to install a duct, it's likely that it went outside at one point. However, another common exhaust fan mistake is to vent it out the eaves. If there's a duct connected, but no visible outlet outside. It's possible yours vents out the eaves, which is usually not so good. | |

That's exactly what I'm concerned they did in my case too. I haven't wanted to get covered in fiberglass ripping up the attic insulation to figure it out. I wonder if there are any building codes for this sort of thing. BTW, the fan exhaust is definitely attach to ducting. | |
