[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the humidity like before the showers? That might tell you if you have a water or moisture problem unrelated to the fan. Your contractor sounds bad and is it possible they are venting humid air from somewhere else into the walls?[/quote]

When no one is showering and the humidity has had time to exit the bathroom...and we wipe the ceilings and walls down to remove whatever residual moisture we can, the bathroom stays dry.  [/quote]

DP.  That’s not necessarily dispositive. The walls may still be saturated with moisture.  We had a shower pan leak, and we never saw an actual drip from the shower, but we had moisture condensing on the ceiling of another room. Water travels in weird ways, and sometimes it just saturates the material of the house and then recondenses somewhere else. We live in on the Gulf Coast, in a very very humid climate, and we don’t need dehumidifiers in our bathrooms. A standard exhaust fan is sufficient, and we don’t even use that all the time. If you live in Southern California and have that much moisture, it’s coming from somewhere else. I’d get or borrow a moisture meter and test the walls. [/quote]
