What makes dryer vent installation go wrong in Martinez homes
Most bad vents start as a space problem. The dryer sits tight to a garage sidewall corner. White vinyl or foil flex gets crushed behind it. Someone fastens joints with sheet metal screws. Those screw tips snag lint inside the duct. A new installation has to solve the clearance first. A rigid periscope or an offset box recovers those inches. Then the run can be straight.
Route type decides nearly everything else. A postwar ranch usually gets a short sidewall run through the garage. Single-story tracts often cross the attic to a gable or roof jack. Two-story homes and townhomes from the 1980s through the 2000s push 20 to 35 feet vertically to the roof. Older raised-foundation cottages route under the floor through the crawlspace. Each path needs its own support and slope, with a different elbow count.
We install rigid galvanized pipe, joints taped and sealed, male ends pointed with the airflow. Elbows get counted against total run length, since the turn up into an attic is where lint packs first. Terminations matter too. Open or broken hoods invite birds and wasps during the dry season.
Tell us the laundry location and floor. That determines the run before anyone arrives.
