Reservoir is postwar brick and weatherboard homes, many renovated by newer owners, with a real mix of original and updated exhaust fans. FreshDuct cleans, repairs and re-ducts them so every bathroom and laundry keeps the moisture moving out.
Bought a Reservoir home with an ancient bathroom fan? Worth checking before winter.
Reservoir is a large northern suburb of postwar brick and weatherboard homes, a great many now owned by younger families gradually renovating them. That means the exhaust fans are a real mix — a shiny new unit in a redone bathroom, or a decades-old ceiling fan in one still on the list.
The old fans are the ones to watch: clogged, slow, and often ducted into the roof rather than outside, so the bathroom stays damp while the kitchen and living areas get the attention. We clean and test each fan, check the ducting, and replace the worn originals — so a Reservoir home extracts properly while the renovation catches up.
The things we check first on a Reservoir exhaust fan — based on the local homes, fans and ventilation we see.
Reservoir bathrooms often keep the original fan mid-renovation. We clean or replace the worn unit so the bathroom clears the steam.
Old Reservoir fans commonly vent into the roof. We re-connect the duct to the outside so the moisture leaves.
With renovations in progress, fans vary by room. We clean and test each so the whole home extracts consistently.

A Reservoir home mid-renovation usually has one or two updated wet areas and one still running its original fan. We clean and test each exhaust, check the ducting behind it, and identify the tired units that are holding the moisture in.
Where an old fan is worn out or vents into the roof, we quote a replacement and re-duct it to the eave. Everything is photographed so you can see which fans were doing nothing and are now genuinely clearing the air.
FreshDuct cleans and repairs exhaust fans across Reservoir and Reservoir East 7 days a week, and we are regularly nearby in Preston, Coburg, Bundoora and Northcote, so a Reservoir job fits into our schedule.
From the postwar streets near Broadway to the homes towards Edwardes Lake, we can usually offer a prompt appointment and prioritise a bathroom the renovation has not reached yet.
A thorough, documented clean and check — every fan, grille and duct run inspected so your bathroom, kitchen and laundry actually clear the air.
We check every exhaust fan — bathroom, kitchen and laundry — the grille, motor, blades and where the ducting actually runs.
A simple airflow test tells us whether the fan is genuinely pulling air out or just spinning and blowing dust around.
Grille, blades, motor housing and cover cleaned of dust, lint and grease so the fan moves the air it is meant to.
We trace the duct to the roof or eave, clear blockages, and flag any fan that vents into the roof cavity rather than outside.
A seized motor, a noisy bearing or a fan past its life — we free it up, replace the unit or fit new ducting, quoted first.
A clear before-and-after with photos and honest advice on airflow, moisture and whether the fan needs replacing.
Verified 5-star reviews from across FreshDuct’s exhaust fan, duct and ventilation work.

“The old fan just hummed and never cleared the steam. They replaced it and re-ducted it to the eave properly. Great job and tidy.”
Verified
“Booked them for two bathrooms and the laundry. Showed me photos of the lint and grease before and after — honest and thorough.”
Verified
“Found our en-suite fan was venting straight into the roof cavity. They fixed it and sorted the damp problem we’d had for years.”
Verified
“Turned up on time, quiet and clean. The kitchen fan actually pulls now and the whole place smells fresher.”

Yes, before winter ideally. Postwar homes often keep a decades-old ceiling fan that is clogged, slow and often vents into the roof, so the bathroom stays damp. We test the real extraction, clean or replace the fan and re-duct it outside so it actually clears.
Yes. The bathroom fan is easy to leave for last, so we are happy to clean or replace it and re-duct it properly while the rest of the renovation continues, so the wet areas extract even before the whole project is finished.

A standard clean is a fixed, affordable price per fan, with a better rate for the whole home. The cost only changes if a fan needs a new motor, a full replacement unit or new ducting — and we quote that clearly before we do anything. Call 04 3191 8137 for pricing.
Every one to two years for a bathroom or laundry fan, and more often for a kitchen fan that pulls cooking grease. Dust, lint and grease build up on the grille and blades and slowly choke the airflow, so a regular clean keeps the fan actually extracting the moisture and steam.
Usually one of three things: the grille and blades are clogged with dust so the fan cannot move air, the motor is worn and spinning slowly, or the ducting is blocked, disconnected or vents into the roof cavity instead of outside. We check all three and get the fan extracting properly again.
Bathroom, kitchen and laundry fans cleaned, freed up, re-ducted or replaced — grille, motor and ducting checked, with before-and-after photos. Available 7 days.
