Could you vacuum it or blow it out with a leaf blower? Also, cleaning the dryer vent every time I use it has really reduced the need to do anything else. |
Zero. Do the leaf blower method or buy the brushes off Amazon. |
Why can't you do ot yourself? |
Swift Vents |
Stacked dryers in closets make this considerably more difficult |
Why can't you do it in your home? |
Why does it matter to you? Maybe her dryer vents to the top of a roof. Maybe the dryer is in a closet in an old house and there is too much duct to cover. Maybe she is afraid she will not be able to connect it back. |
Stacked dryer in a closet. Do you have an easy way to do this with one person? |
$125 Atlantic Duct
Not impressed. They didn't reattach dryer screen correctly until I told them even so it's still not perfect. Careless cowboys. Do not recommend. |
Who can do this in Bethesda/Chevy Chase? |
Depends on the run. If it goes up through attic and roof, it is more obviously. If it is a fragile design instead of metal tubing, that increases cost. DIY is simplest way, costs about $20 for the brush and extensions that attach to a drill or manual powered. It's not difficult to swab out a pipe. |
Yes, same. Stackable set is in a very very small space - I physically can't get behind the dryer to clean it out nor can I slide the whole thing out because of how the space is configured. Truthfully I don't see how it would be any easier for an HVAC company. How have people done this in the past? |
