Bath fan

A dripping fan can be steam. It can also be a pipe above the fan.

Winter steam hitting a cold duct looks like a leak. A supply line in the same joist bay is a leak. The grille is a bad place to guess.

Does it only happen during or after a hot shower?

Steam is more likely. A drip at 4 a.m. is not steam.

Look at the suite above the fan.

A wet fan grille under a bathroom is a plumbing suspect.

Do not keep running the shower with the fan off as a test.

You will only make more steam.

Questions people ask

Should I replace the fan first?

Not until you know whether water is coming from the duct, the roof, or a pipe.

Can a fan leak into the light beside it?

Yes. Treat wet electrical as safety first.

Need a clear next step?

If water is actively causing damage, call. If the condition is stable, send a callback request.
