Dryer Vent Cleaning Gallery
This was a pipe running beneath the floor to the exterior exhaust vent, which was coated in lint and has now been cleaned and restored.
Many homes have vent screens like this that accumulate lint quickly and lead to clogs. These screens should be removed and replaced with dryer exhaust vents that comply with current code standards.
The dryer in this house needed multiple cycles to dry even when it was new. It wasn't the dryer itself causing the issue— it was the fully blocked vent tucked away in the wall, which was doubling the drying time.
