You may need to redirect the vent through the brick of the side of the house with no
soffit.

The first step is to find the offending
soffits. Set up a ladder near the area in question and tap on the
soffits to see which ones rattle.
Gable vents kept open while having
soffit and ridge vents are causing a short circuit between
soffit and ridge vents, and reducing to a minimum, if not interrupting completely, the air intake from the
soffits.
"We placed new millwork around selected old columns, added decorative ceiling
soffits at strategic locations for interest & visual site lines, and reused ceiling 'j--box' locations for our completely new lighting pattern," said Horst.
We pay as much attention to the quality of our exterior trim as we do the interior trim on the upscale houses we build, so we don't want to see ugly strip vents or round metal button vents messing up the
soffits. Instead, we've come up with a nice-looking detail that provides plenty of roof ventilation without calling attention to itself.
Since there is no gable wall, the only choice is through a
soffit in cold climates.
We offer both ventilated and nonvented
soffit boards.
Is it better to vent through the
soffit (putting in a new vent specifically for the fan) or run the venting pipe up near an existing roof vent for the humidity to escape through?
Within this grand, airy volume, a folded concrete canopy marks the precise, even ceremonial point-of-access; the
soffit of this contemporary aedicule is lined by the bottom flanges of steel beams and is inset with grids of glass block.
The culprit is almost certainly the
soffit that meets the roof, which is one of the toughest areas to waterproof.
Soffit and fascia, too, dictate the look and choice of siding and trim.
