Many people ask if it's a big deal whether the exhaust hood is missing.
Where an exhaust fan terminates outside, it is usually protected by a weather hood. This stops rain and snow driven by wind from getting into the fan. The flap is usually provided to prevent Backdraft. In some areas, screens are also used to prevent animals, birds, and large insects from getting into ducts. Screening is more commonly used on inlets then exhaust ducts, because inlets can't have Backdraft flaps.
If the weather hood is missing, damaged, or loose, the possibility of rain and snow getting into the building at this point is significant.
Check that the weather hood is present and tightly installed.
HAPPY REHABBING!!!!
