Water dripping sound inside exhaust fans

tomtomtom

Happy Saturday everybody!

Early this morning I heard water dripping sound inside all exhaust fans on the 2nd floor (bathrooms, laundry room, restrooms). There was no water coming out of the fan down to the floor. I turned on all the fans for 30 mins. Dripping sound stopped around noon.

I am wondering what the cause was? Is this something I can fix myself or I need to call a contractor?

Thanks and have a nice day!

Um... obvious question. Had it rained? Perhaps with a wind? So that rain water might have gotten into the exhaust trunking?

Of -- has it been particularly humid, and the building air conditioned, to cause condensation in the exhausts?

Early morning condensation , to fix the problem AC

Both the condensation and rain issues kind of point to maybe the dampers aren't working.

No it has not rained for months. The house is in a dry climate, humidity is usually below 40%. Thanks

Thanks! I've just heard the water drop in the laundry room fan after we finished doing the laundry
