Dryer Vent Hose Replacement in Martinez, CA
Call (925) 578-4251
Why does a new dryer hose crush again within a month?
Usually because the dryer sits too close to the wall. The hose behind the machine is transition duct, not duct. It's meant to be short, visible, and replaceable. Push a dryer back into a tight garage corner and foil flex folds flat. Airflow drops. Lint settles in the kink. White vinyl crushes worse and should come out on sight. We replace it with listed semi-rigid aluminum, or a rigid periscope where clearance is the real problem. A recessed dryer box buys back depth in laundry closets.
Joints get clamps and foil tape. No sheet metal screws. Screw tips inside a run snag lint and build a plug at the first elbow.
Hose replacement alone fixes the short 4–8 ft garage sidewall runs common in postwar ranches here. It doesn't fix much on a 20–35 ft vertical roof run from a second-floor laundry. There the restriction is usually a roof-jack flapper caked after winter, a clogged booster fan, or the elbow where the run turns up into the attic. We check the termination before we sell you a hose.
Bring a flashlight behind your dryer. Flattened, torn, or gray-furred flex means replace, not clean.

What Happens When You Call Us
Call and tell us what your dryer is doing. We ask a few questions about your vent run and give you a two hour arrival window, not a half day of waiting around.
We show up, look at the duct from the dryer to the outside hood, and tell you the price before any tool comes off the truck. The estimate is free whether you book or not.
We clean the line, repair what needs it, then run the dryer and check airflow at the hood with you watching. We vacuum the lint we pulled, and you pay the quoted price, nothing added.
