Bathroom Exhaust Fan Cleaning in Sunnyvale

Local notes

Bathroom fans in Sunnyvale homes

Eichler bathrooms in Sunnyvale have a fan in a ceiling with almost no attic above it, venting through a short duct to a roof jack. The run is short but the cap is where the dust and the flap stick, and the fan itself is often original. The ranch tracts have a hall-bath fan through the attic. Newer infill townhomes have an inline fan on a long flexible run.

A bathroom fan moves a small amount of air through a small duct, so it does not take much to stop it. Dust and lint build a felt on the blower wheel, the motor slows, the duct to the roof narrows, and the mirror stays fogged after every shower. We take the grille down, clean the wheel and housing by hand and with the vacuum, clear the duct from the fan end and the cap end where we can reach them, and put it back together running.

Air and dust in Sunnyvale

Sunnyvale sits on the flat valley floor between the bay and the foothills, and during the 2020 fire season the city spent weeks in the unhealthy range. Baylands wind carries fine dust in from the salt flats in late summer. Spring pollen is mostly grass and street trees rather than the foothill oaks.
