🚨 **OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND!** 🚨
Just because your dryer vent looks good behind your dryer and on the outside of your home doesn't mean everything in between is installed correctly!
These videos are from **TWO different homes** where our camera inspections revealed improper dryer vent ducting hidden out of sight.
⚠️ **SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH WHAT YOU'RE SEEING?**
The material shown in these videos is semi-rigid aluminum ducting. While approved semi-rigid ducting can be used as a short transition connection behind the dryer, **it is NOT code-compliant for use as the main dryer exhaust duct running through walls, crawlspaces, or attics under current installation requirements.**
✅ A code-compliant dryer exhaust system should use properly rated, 4-inch rigid metal ducting, such as galvanized steel, with a smooth interior surface to promote proper airflow and reduce lint accumulation.
Most homeowners have no idea what's running through their walls, crawlspaces, or attics. That's exactly why **we start every dryer vent cleaning with a camera inspection!** 🔎
We're not just looking for lint buildup. We're also checking for disconnected ductwork, improper materials, damaged vents, and other hidden issues that could affect airflow and safety.
Sometimes a simple cleaning is all that's needed. Other times, like these two homes, we discover issues that need to be corrected before a proper cleaning can be completed.
✅ **Our goal isn't just to clean your dryer vent. It's to help you understand the condition of your entire venting system.**
At T&B Appliance Repair & Dryer Vent Cleaning, we believe in doing the job thoroughly, educating our customers, and identifying problems that might otherwise go unnoticed.
