While my action alert is specific to New Jersey - it is probably the case in your state as well. Please visit

and enter your zip and contact your reps on this serious matter.

Thank you very much.

Uninforced NJ code making you, your children, the elderly sick.
Toothless code requires enforcement immediately

New Jersey state law mandated in 1990 that all bathroom exhaust fans must exit out of the home through a roof termination cap with a flapper damper. Homes, however, built prior to 1990 were grandfathered and owners are not forced to make the necessary repairs. The state strongly recommended that all condo, townhome, and apartment associations quickly retrofit their outdated systems. Many have refused.

Many certified home inspectors or builders can tell you about the horrible toxic mold and wood rot in the roof framing and roof sheathing. Heating and cooling ducts re-circulate the toxic mold and fungi into the home itself. This is a major health threat to children and the elderly. It also is not a 'green' process as it becomes harder to heat/cool one's home.

The state legislature needs to mandate that all associations make these changes immediately. Home owners should not underestimate the severe issues that this water vapor can cause and should have the repairs done immediately as well.

Please contact your reps immediately. Cut and paste the above text and email, write and fax them, changing New Jersey to your state of residence.

THX
