Many older dryer venting systems utilize materials that have been found to be a serious fire hazard. Materials such as vinyl, aluminum flex (hard and soft), and PVC (when not in a concrete slab) are considered a fire hazard and should be replaced. Our Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians replace dryer vents from the laundry room to the roof using materials and technique that exceed industry standards.

Sometimes, during our internal image scan of the venting system while cleaning, we find that a section of the vent was damaged due to poor installation practices and is causing performance issues.  Other times, the metal piping is rusted from time and irregular maintenance.  In these cases, our Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians can repair the damaged area, often without having to replace the entire system.

One of the most common repairs that we do for dryer vents is reconnecting a dryer vent to the roof termination after a new roof is installed.  When roofers install a new roof and replace roof terminations, they rarely ever get in the attic to connect the vent to the new termination, leaving the combustible lint blowing onto the underside of the roof decking and into the attic, creating a fire hazard.  We often find these disconnections through our internal image scanning of the vent.  If you haven’t had our Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians out to service the dryer vent since your roof was replaced, we strongly recommend it!
