Our technicians
will check the following while cleaning your dryer
vent. |
|
|
Dryer duct must be
at least 4” diameter and as large as dryer outlet. |
|
|
Concealed ducts
must be rigid metal (galvanized or aluminum) duct. |
|
|
Duct joints shall
be secured with metal tape, never screws or rivets. |
|
|
Joints are
installed so the pipe connections point in the
direction of the airflow (away from the dryer). |
|
|
Dryer vents shall
be independent of all other systems and terminate
outdoors (do not vent into another chimney or vent).
|
|
|
Outside
termination hood should be equipped with a back
draft damper. |
|
|
Use of flexible
metal connectors between the dryer and the duct.
Plastic connector ducting is not recommended. |
|
|
Assure the rodent
and bird screen protection is intact.
