Can humidity in the bathroom cause mold?

• <div><p>Mold thrives in wet and humid conditions, and the bathroom can often be an ideal place for it to grow. If you are worried about mold, it's a good idea to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/mold-inspection/">local mold inspector</a> to inspect your bathroom. </p><p>How you handle the mold depends on the extent of the issue. If it's on the caulk or other surface, a deep cleaning with mold-killing products such as vinegar or bleach may be sufficient. For a large infestation, you'll most likely need professional mold remediation.</p></div>

Q: How much does exhaust fan installation cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $150 to $400, depending on fan type and labor.</p></div>

Q: Where is the backdraft damper located?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll find the backdraft damper near the top of the range hood (where it connects to the ductwork). However, some range hoods also have a second damper, which is located close to the roof or exterior wall where the ductwork ends. If you don&rsquo;t see a damper in either of these places, you might not have one.</p></div>

Q: How much horsepower do I need?

• <div><p>If your home already has a grinder pump and you&rsquo;re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.</p></div>

Q: Why is my bathroom hotter than the rest of the house?

• <div><p>When you take a hot shower or bath, the steam dissipates into the air and increases the temperature of your bathroom. This can make the room hotter than other rooms in your home, especially if it&rsquo;s an upper floor that gets a lot of sun. On top of that, the high humidity in your bathroom can make it feel hotter than it actually is. </p></div>

Jon, Ler and Emanuel L were the crew who installed 5 piers on the corner of my house. They were very efficient, and left things looking exactly as before they did the job. I received updates as their work progressed.

The installer did a very good job. The only hang up was the bracket for my shower seat. The package was labeled for a right side bracket, but a left side bracket was inside the page. It was mislabeled at the warehouse. Certainly not the installers fault. Bath Planet scheduled a time to come...
