    Hello
    I have a leak coming from the bathroom vent.
    The vent lets out steam via the attic.
    I have noticed over the past 2 months the problem is getting worse and the ceiling stain is increasing in size.
    Any ideas on what to do or who to contact.

    The vent will be ducted through the attic and most likely out of the roof. You'll find that the roof is leaking around the ducting, running down the ducting & staining the ceiling.

    I had the same problem but it was the warm air condensing in the duct causing the issue not a leak from the roof. I put in a condensation trap and piped it out the faica
