What size fan do you need?

• <div><p>Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM. You can figure <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-home-need-more-attic-ventilation.htm">the size of attic fan you need</a> by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.</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: How do you get rid of humidity in the bathroom?

• <div><p>To get rid of humidity in your bathroom, you&rsquo;ll need to increase ventilation and minimize moisture. Install an exhaust fan or dehumidifier. Crack a window. Remove wet towels and clothing. Wipe down surfaces to reduce standing water or condensation. You can even install an anti-fog mirror. Taking shorter baths and showers can help, too.</p></div>

Q: Does a bathroom really need an exhaust fan?

• <div><p>Not every bathroom needs an exhaust fan. If you have a window in the bathroom, you can get many of the same benefits by opening the window. Moisture in window-less bathrooms can damage your wallpaper, paint, drywall, and wood. It can also result in mold growth, resulting in lung issues, skin irritation, and other health issues. You may need an exhaust fan if your bathroom regularly seems stuffy, traps in smells for a long time, or is prone to mold or mildew growth.</p></div>

Q: Do exhaust fans push air in or out?

• <div><p>Exhaust fans push air out of spaces, removing moisture, heat, odors, and pollutants. They vent air outside through ducts, preventing mold and improving air quality. Unlike ventilation fans, which circulate fresh air in and out, exhaust fans focus solely on expelling unwanted indoor air.</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...
