        "text": "Yes, bathroom fans must always be vented directly to the outside of your home, not into an attic, crawl space, or wall cavity. Venting into these areas can lead to significant moisture buildup, promoting mold growth, wood rot, and insulation damage within your home's structure. Proper ductwork ensures humid air is expelled completely. Ensuring a direct and clear path to the exterior is a critical component of effective and safe ventilation fan installation, protecting your home's integrity.",
