Stop mold, mildew, and steamy mirrors. DeCicco Property Group installs quiet, code-compliant bathroom exhaust fans across Hammonton, Egg Harbor Township, and Vineland.
A properly sized exhaust fan does more than clear a foggy mirror. It pulls humid air out of your bathroom and protects paint, drywall, and framing from moisture damage.
DeCicco Property Group installs new bathroom exhaust fans and replaces old, noisy units in Hammonton. The work is part of our full bathroom remodeling services across South Jersey.
We handle the fan, the wiring, the duct run to the outside of the house, and the roof or sidewall cap. Every install meets the International Residential Code minimums for bath ventilation.
Call us if your fan is loud, weak, or vents into the attic. We will tell you straight whether you need a replacement, a duct fix, or a full upgrade with a humidity sensor.
The International Residential Code requires every bathroom to have either an operable window or a mechanical exhaust fan. The fan must move at least 50 CFM on demand or 20 CFM running continuously.
The Home Ventilating Institute goes further. For bathrooms up to 100 square feet, HVI recommends 1 CFM per square foot. So a 60 square foot bathroom needs at least a 60 CFM fan.
Larger bathrooms with a separate toilet room, soaking tub, or steam shower need more capacity. We size the fan by adding 50 CFM for the toilet, 100 CFM for the tub, and 100 CFM for an enclosed shower or steam unit.
New Jersey code also requires bathroom exhaust to terminate outside the house. Venting into the attic or a soffit traps moisture in your roof framing and is a common cause of mold and sheathing rot in older Hammonton homes.
We measure the room, calculate the CFM, and recommend a fan that meets the code with a little headroom for actual day-to-day use.
Fan loudness is measured in sones. A 4.0 sone fan is the old, loud builder-grade unit. A 0.3 sone fan is barely audible.
We recommend a 1.0 sone fan or quieter in any bathroom near a bedroom or office. Most ENERGY STAR fans hit this number easily.
A humidity sensor turns the fan on by itself when bathroom moisture rises above your set point and turns it off when the room dries out. This protects the room even when guests forget to flip the switch.
Motion-activated fans run while the bathroom is in use and shut off on a timer after you leave. These work well in powder rooms and guest bathrooms where the fan often gets left on or never gets turned on at all.
Many fans now combine the exhaust function with a light, a night light, or a heater. Combination units save ceiling space but require a heavier electrical circuit, especially if a heater is included. We carry Panasonic WhisperGreen and Broan-NuTone QuietTest as our two go-to brands for Hammonton installs. Both lines hit ENERGY STAR ratings and offer humidity-sensing models.
The duct that carries air from the fan to the outside is more important than the fan itself. A great fan on a bad duct run will still feel weak and noisy.
We use rigid metal or smooth-walled flexible duct for every install. Cheap accordion-style flex duct kills airflow and traps lint and moisture in every ridge.
Duct size matters. A 50 to 80 CFM fan needs a 4-inch duct. Anything 100 CFM or higher needs a 6-inch duct. We size the duct to match the fan, not the cheapest fitting at the hardware store.
Long horizontal runs through cold Hammonton attics get insulated to prevent condensation. Without insulation, warm shower air hits cold duct walls, drips back into the bathroom ceiling, and stains the drywall.
We terminate the duct at the roof with a flashed roof cap or at the sidewall with a backdraft damper. Soffit venting is a code violation in New Jersey because the moisture gets pulled right back into the attic through the soffit intakes.

If your fan rattles, struggles, or never seems to clear the mirror, the motor bearings are likely worn. Most builder-grade bath fans last 8 to 15 years before they need replacement.
Replacing a fan is faster and cheaper than a new install in finished construction. The wiring and ceiling cutout already exist, so we can often swap the unit and upgrade to a quieter, code-compliant model in a single visit.
We check the existing duct work first. If the duct dumps into the attic or runs through uninsulated soffit space, we fix that before the new fan goes in. A new fan on a bad duct only buys you the same problem in a quieter package.
Many older Hammonton homes have a single bath light/fan combination that no longer meets code or feels modern. We can pull the old combo and install a separate ceiling light plus a dedicated exhaust fan with a humidity sensor for far better performance.
Replacement is also the right time to add a second fan over a soaking tub or shower if the original install only put one fan over the toilet. Two smaller fans on separate switches often work better than one big one.
Bath ventilation is one of those jobs that looks simple and goes wrong all the time. Here is why Hammonton homeowners trust our team to do it right.
We hold all the New Jersey licenses needed to handle the fan, the circuit, the switch, and the duct. Permits get pulled and inspections get scheduled.
We measure your bathroom, count the fixtures, and pick a fan with real-world CFM that matches the space. No undersized builder specials.
Every install vents to the outside through rigid or smooth flex duct, with a proper roof or sidewall cap. We never vent into attics, soffits, or wall cavities.
We stock Panasonic WhisperGreen and Broan-NuTone QuietTest fans rated 1.0 sone or quieter. ENERGY STAR rated, humidity-sensor ready.
We live and work in the Hammonton area. Our reputation depends on the quality and reliability of every install we complete.

A straight replacement on an existing fan in a Hammonton bathroom takes 2 to 4 hours. A new install with fresh wiring and a full duct run to the roof or sidewall usually takes a full day.
No. New Jersey code and the International Residential Code both require bathroom exhaust to terminate outside the house. Venting into the attic traps humid air against your roof framing and is a common cause of mold and sheathing rot.
