This afternoon, Jim wanted to clean out the heater underneath the kitchen sink, so I moved everything out and he got everything spic and span...
The fan in the bathroom has started having some issues. We've noticed condensation, and Jim went up into the attic a couple of weeks ago and put a pan underneath the pipes to catch any drips. Today it was dripping again so Jim went back up to investigate. Our catch pan had liquid in it (frozen!) but wasn't overflowing. Jim did more checking of the fan and finally determined that the valve is not completely closing, so it's letting warm air from the bathroom up into the attic space. We've never had this problem before this winter, so Jim is confident that's the issue.
We typically don't use the fan and just leave the bathroom door partially open to let humidity into the house in the winter as opposed to pushing it up into the attic. So for now, he took the fan out and put up a piece of cardboard to block airflow.
No matter how much cleaning you do, some things just need to be taken apart and really cleaned. So this is the perfect time for that...
