One of the most important aspects of your bathroom remodeling Tampa residents need to keep in mind is proper ventilation. The bathroom is the wettest area in your home and humidity can be a frequent problem. When excess moisture accumulates in your bathroom, the environment becomes the perfect host for mold and mildew. Other issues such as peeling paint, soggy drywall, wood vanities splitting, and even problems with the flooring. Luckily, these problems are completely preventable when you have proper ventilation.

Tips for Bathroom Ventilation

When it comes to ventilation, bathroom remodeling Tampa companies know all the tips and tricks for ensuring your bathroom stays dry and comfortable.

  1. Bathroom Vent Fan- Opening up the bathroom window does not do enough to circulate air and circumvent humidity and moisture buildup. A bathroom vent fan installed on the ceiling near the shower, but away from any air conditioner vents, will pull moisture and odor both out of the bathroom. Bathroom remodeling Tampa companies should be experts in knowing the proper fixture and placement for your fan. 
  2. Proper Maintenance- Cleaning your bathroom vent fan is super important to keeping it maintained and working. Just like with your HVAC system, when dirt and grime build up, the efficiency goes way down. 
  3. Hire a Professional- Installing bathroom ventilation requires working with electrical components which can be dangerous. You may also need to run vents all the way to the roof if you are changing the ventilation placement or building a new addition. The best choice is to hire a professional bathroom remodeling company Tampa residents trust to get the job done right.

After the ventilation system is in place it is important to keep the fans running for at least 15 minutes after your hot shower to ensure all the moisture is out of the air.
