Answer
An exhaust fan rated for at least fifty cubic feet per minute, or roughly one CFM per square foot, is ideal for basement bathrooms. This ventilation removes moisture and prevents mold growth, improving air quality and comfort. Proper airflow also reduces lingering odors and maintains a fresh atmosphere. Installing a quiet, energy-efficient fan near the shower or toilet area optimizes performance and complements other updating efforts to improve basement bathroom ambiance.
