Problem
The Remodel Required New Ventilation & Ductwork Improvements
The home remodeling project involved changes to multiple rooms, creating the need for additional ventilation and ductwork work.
The builder wanted to add exhaust fans to three bedrooms, including a bathroom fan with a heater. At the same time, two remodeled bedrooms needed their existing ductwork replaced or reconnected.
Because the ductwork was being affected by the remodel, the connections, supports, sealing, boots, and grilles also needed to be evaluated.
Inspection

The inspection focused on:
- Existing ductwork and connections
- Duct sealing
- Duct straps and supports
- Duct boots

- Locations for the new exhaust fans
- Bathroom fan location requiring a heater
- Existing conditions that could affect the remodeling work
We also collected project data and documented existing conditions for future work and planning.
