Do you think that this type of vent door hinders and allows the lint to block it up more than the hood type with a large flap. I think the loovers on this system helps to block the lint and create a clog.
Oh, if it's all flex, it has to be replaced! First, it isn't up to current building code, second, my brush would rip it to shreds! Actually, when the company started, we didn't clean vents... We only did retrofit jobs or new construction homes... Finally got into the cleaning side bc it's fairly lucrative. GREAT QUESTION!!!!!
Next time, put down a drop cloth or tarp to catch the lint. Also I use a handheld leaf vac to vacuum up when I am done. Not an expert but have done a few. The first time I did one, I used a leaf blower from the inside and blew through. Was not pretty. Somone asked, "How come the duct has so much lint?" The walls of the duct get charged with static electricity from the air blowing through it and that attracts the lint. Also. Some folks forget to put the filter back.
I was thinking that too. I'm lucky mine is right by outside foundation wall, just the vent hood with a short pipe through the wall and the flexible duct connected right to it.
There's way to prevent the buildup of lint in the duct... Only true way to be safe is to have to vent cleaned every 1-2 years. ESPECIALLY with the length of duct current building codes allow... Thx for watching as well as your comment!!!
Hi, Wow that was a bit full. Wish when tradesmen put things in they would take pride in their work and do it properly. Great job fixing it up. Stay Safe from a Tasmanian Fan ❤️🙏👍🤗

Great movie, Steve! You look like Ben Foster from "Mechanic" (with Jason Stratham).Take care of your hands and knees - maybe, gloves and knee pads help you. Thanks!
Great job , but honestly you shouldn’t have crimped that piece , should have crimped the dryer vent itself going downward , now you have created a slight restriction and also the lint is going to be catching on your crimped in and is going to get clogged faster..And you never put screws in dryer vents..They catch lint also..
HAHAHAHAHA! Unfortunately, I was knife-less for the remainder of the day... I did let the homeowner I left it and made sure it was safe and out of the hands of little ones! Great question though!
I’m sure he appreciates all y’all comments and suggestions on what to do. But maybe he’s from Missouri (the show me state) and maybe y’all could call him up and he will let you go to the job with him so y’all can show him.😂
Could this also be the reason why a dryer won't be heating up when drying clothes? A new motor was put in a used dryer for me last year but now the thing hasnt been getting hot anymore. Let alone I never touched the vent as long as I had the dryer. This is new to me while I am trying to be an educated tenant and possibly homeowner some day. But inflation is a mother fucker these days
I don't understand why you're crimping the Doctor work and the hole in the floor I thought the goal was to have no rough edges to snag lint on its way out of the house
Wow, that thing was PACKED for being such a short vent!
Wow, wasn’t expecting that much of a plug.

Normally I think its ok. But when there is already a problem and its comes in chunks it will definitely catch better wit these small louvers.
Good Job😀an old toothbrush will easier to clean the inside flap and around the outside vent!! just a thought!!!
HA! That's a great idea! See, I learn something everyday!!!
Wow ! What would you do if the vent was flexible and not metal ? Thanks

I can dig it!!! Thx for watching and for your thoughts!!
A drop cloth? How would that help? HAHAHA!
@@CLTAccBCit would catch all of the lint that comes out on the ground and would be easy to just pick up the tarp to clean up outside.
The duct is connected to the dryer which is grounded. How can static electricity build up on a grounded metal duct?
Wow 😳 insane how much those lint systems hold!
Absolutely! Although it does keep me in business.. LOL
If the dryer is on an exterior wall or is that cloae to one, why did they run the vent thru the floor?
I was thinking that too. I'm lucky mine is right by outside foundation wall, just the vent hood with a short pipe through the wall and the flexible duct connected right to it.
Just watched this one again! I can't believe this happens so many times! Or are you a magnet to insanely dirty dryer vents, LOL?
My hayfever and allergies were screaming at me.
It's lint not pollen
@@B-ch6uk i still get hayfever
If you put 1 ft markers on your cleaning line, it would help give reference of how far the cleaning brushes are from the opening.
That's a great idea! Thanks!
We appliance service technicians thank you for your service!
I live in a senior community and every fall I have the maintenance man get up on the roof and clean the dryer vent.
Everybody owes you a big thanks for that!
Why does the lint stay in the pipe? GREAT VIDEO!!!

What rod and brush kit are you using?
It's a prototype I'm currently working on getting to mass production... Thx for watching!
well hurry up because i need one for use at my company asap@@advsLLC
Great job
Do you have the dryer running inside to help blow the lint out as your running your brush?
Great movie, Steve! You look like Ben Foster from "Mechanic" (with Jason Stratham).Take care of your hands and knees - maybe, gloves and knee pads help you. Thanks!
Hopefully that's a compliment, LOL!!! I really appreciate you watching!
Why you guys still clean up?
Regardless what others say, Great job!
I have a question as a new home owner when a vent is moved to another spot how should the old whole be filled ?
Great job , but honestly you shouldn’t have crimped that piece , should have crimped the dryer vent itself going downward , now you have created a slight restriction and also the lint is going to be catching on your crimped in and is going to get clogged faster..And you never put screws in dryer vents..They catch lint also..
I can dig it! I appreciate ya!
Did you remember to pick up your knife that was in the leaves?
HAHAHAHAHA! Unfortunately, I was knife-less for the remainder of the day... I did let the homeowner I left it and made sure it was safe and out of the hands of little ones! Great question though!
Idk why but when he reached around the camera to hit record I just lost it 😂😂😂
My favorite part in your videos is the way you show us how to remove the louvers on the outside of the vent. I would be afraid they'd snap.
How does this happen so often?
Hi iv just found your channel very interesting 😊

Thar house is not a split. A split is a ranch which has 2 levels and a middle entrance. This house is a full cape.
❤❤❤
Why do people say no bueno instead of no good
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
WOW!
I would love to see you wear gloves of some type. 😊
Sorry from London England 😊

Son you need a sheep herder on some of these cleaning jobs!
👍👍👍👍👍👍

Gloves, mask, and eye protection for you. You need to care for yourself😂
Useless people who can't do a little home maintenance but would rather throw money away.,
