Not sure why I'm posting here, but some folks have a wide breadth of knowledge.
My house was built in the 70's and the baths were vented into the attic. (It's ventilated space with vents through the eaves to a roof cap). No mold, but it made me uncomfortable, so I hired a guy to route the vents to the outside.
I would have preferred it go through the roof. (Hot air rising and all). Instead the contractor ran them out the eave (so from the bathroom into the attic and down and out the eave). The vent doesn't work.
My question - who do I hire to get this right? A roofing contractor to install the vent, and then someone else to hook it up? (I'm not going on the roof - and the guy I hired originally is gone).
