Many dryer vents have screens covering the duct terminations exhaust hood. This can be the cause of the dryer not working properly, the house having a lingering lint smell , or a dryer related fire.
These reasons are why the international building code bans the installation of screens at duct terminations.
Do visual inspections reveal issues?
You bet they do! This vent is dirty and restricts the dryer from operating properly, but it’s not the only problem. It is using a corrugated transitional line all the way from the dryer to this termination.
Performing the cleaning.
We clean the dryer vent from the exterior all the way to the dryer. It’s an excellent way to make sure the lint is fully removed from the vent walls throughout the full length of the vent.
Every dryer vent cleaning includes a full inspection of the entire venting system to confirm that the installation is building code compliant and has the correct non flammable transitions.
Those Dreaded Plastic Terminations!
Don’t get caught being a bird nest victim! This vent is due for replacement or it’s going to become the home of some small birds; a very common issue requiring attention.
