My home has a typical utility room, with washer, dryer and (gas) hot water heater. Both the dryer and the hot water heater are vented outside, plus there is a small exhaust fan. Few weeks ago, I fina

Any suggestions on how to solve this? Providing another opening for fresh air to come in seems obvious, but I'd rather not do that if there is another way. ___________________________________________

For an inelegant temporary solution try wedging the exhaust fan's one-way valve open. Depending on your climate and the local rodent population this might be semi-permanent. At least you can see if e

It sounds like the room/house is pretty tight. What if the door that separates the utility room from the rest of the house is open? Have you checked the water heater chimney for obstruction? Sounds l

House isn't tight at all, neither is utility room really. The door into the house has at least a 3/8" gap at the bottom. But that heavy duty dryer moves a bunch of air. Yup, it's clean. And if the d

I don't believe it has a one-way valve. It's a fairly small fan, probably 100 cfm, and uses a squirrel cage blower with a small shaded-pole motor. No way to make it run backwards, either. For rodent

Do you really want to drag cold air all through the house? Sounds like there needs to be an air inlet in the utility room to supply the needs of the dryer so that it doesn't fight the efforts of the

I assumed the door to the utility room was in the house. If not I would add a louver vent from the house into the utility room. Only real question is how do you calculate the required size of the ven
