Dryer Vent Repair & Installation
A cleaning fixes a clogged vent. It doesn’t fix a crushed section, a disconnected joint, or a vent that was never installed correctly in the first place. That’s a different job, and we do that one too.
Common Repairs
Crushed sections, disconnected joints, and damaged exterior hoods are what we see most.
A vent hose gets crushed when furniture or a renovation pushes against it, a joint comes apart when a dryer gets moved and reconnected without being checked, and exterior hoods crack or corrode over time, especially near the coast. Any of these can look like a clog from the symptoms alone — slow drying, a burning smell — but no amount of cleaning fixes a physical break in the line.
New Construction Installation
If you’re building or doing a major remodel, we install dryer venting to current code from the start — the right material, the shortest reasonable run, and a termination point that won’t cause problems down the line. Getting this right during construction saves a lot of headache later, since a poorly planned vent run baked into a new build is much harder to fix once the walls are closed up.
Vent Re-Routing After a Remodel
Kitchen and laundry room remodels are one of the most common reasons a home ends up with an awkward, overly long vent run — the appliance moved, but nobody thought through the venting implications until later. We can re-route an existing line to something shorter and more efficient, which sometimes solves a recurring lint problem better than repeated cleanings ever could.
Code Requirements
Florida building code has specific requirements around dryer vent material, length, and termination that matter both for safety and for insurance and resale purposes. If your home has flexible plastic venting or a run that’s longer than code typically allows without a booster fan, we’ll flag it and explain your options — not push you into a repair you don’t need.
