Upside Down Room Vent
Obviously this vent was
installed backwards and upside down.
It's hard to imagine, I believe there are at least
four ways to install this vent and the maintenance man picked one of the
three wrong ways to install it.
I guess the odds were against him from the beginning.
Home Repair Tip: You could probably remove this wall vent, turn it
around, turn it right side up and then install it correctly. It's not going to be installed properly, and you
could be looking at some serious water damage in the future, depending
upon the location of this room vent.
Something like this isn't that hard to fix properly, and I would
recommend that it should be fixed and that would require removing some
of the stucco around the perimeter of the vent and then purchasing the
correct vent and installing it with the proper flashing paper and then
restuccoing the exterior wall.
