Me too... I keep a small bagged vacuum that stays in my laundry room strictly for keeping the laundry room clean from dryer lint... It takes me forever to fill a bag tho
It is so important to keep the dryer vent clean and the inside of the machine can be taken apart and cleaned. The other thing I would mention is the use of dryer sheets. Not only are they toxic but put a waxy type substance on the clothing and resulting lint. Just don't use those as they are unnecessary, toxic and stink up the clothing. Use wool dryer balls. Use vinegar in the rinse cycle. That is what a crawl space should look like, keeps the dampness and other things out.
What type Brand of duct cleaning brush and attachment for the drill do you use ? I have used the sticks and they tend to get stuck I live in Texas thank you enjoy your videos.
I was wondering, why do you not check the lint trap in the process of doing the dryer duct work checks? I'm adamant on keeping mine clean but wonder if that is part of the issue besides the dryer pipe itself being stuck with lint.
That's the way is used to be and should be the case now however we started putting "pretty" ahead of functionality and it's hurting homeowners in the end... I appreciate you watching as well as commenting!
My laundry area backs right up against the basement staircase. So the last bit of vent line is a flexi that comes UP thru a hole in the floor. Are there any adapters that make a better connection between vertical hole in dryer to horizontal hole in floor?
If you can send me a picture of your setup, I'll absolutely give you any advice I have!!! You can email me at: advsLLC@gmail.com and I'll help however possible!
Plus foul the nice air inside the house with CO, but we all know that. Or maybe you meant blowing from outside-in? But that can blow the fine lint particles all over the laundry room.
Id like to know more about the equipment you use. Especially the hosing for your brush. I have been attaching each section at a time in AND out. Takes forever
Hey! Found your channel recently, I'm an avid consumer of cleaning/organizing/repairing/restoring type videos, and I thought I would let you know my thoughts on your content, if that interests you. (Also, I know this is an older video, I've watched more recent ones also and seen some of the things I will say be more present in future ones.) First of all, I really like to see that work you are doing. It's satisfying and I think has great potential for a wide reach on UA-cam, seeing how popular that type of content is. That being said, some of the things I noticed seems to pull in people the most are missing or not consistently present in your videos. I think they would be relatively simple to implement, though, if you think it's worth a shot. Let me give you a few examples, the ones I myself prefer. A big big driver of engagement is when there is a narrative. A story of why you were called, what the problem is, who is the type of person owning/living in the place, why it has been neglected (ignorance, circumstances, etc.), what prompted . Most creators who gain lots of traction dedicate an intro for this, and sometimes an outro with the resolution, how the people who recived the service reacted to how big a clog you found, what you told them about the risks, if they were thankful or if you think they will be neglectful in the future, and so on. Another big selling point is education. If people are drawn to what you do, they often want to know the details. Why is that job important, what are the risks of not cleaning out your vents more often, how such clogs might form (even if you think it's obvious!), if a previous installation was badly done and why is it bad, what are the standards you are working with (are there norms regarding airflow, laws and inspections for buildings regarding air vents, and so on), what are the specifics of each type of vent exit, crawlspace, tool you use, etc. A mix of technical and anecdotal is pretty nice. If people don't care and just want to see big lumps falling, they're probably already muting the video anyways. Also, there is the process. Seeing something done from start to finish. This includes setting up your things, preparing your tools and workspace, taking the dryer off the wall and back on again, and cleaning up the lint afterwards. That's a part that many people find very satisfying. Seeing the process is also reassuring and brings trust in the creator, because it assuages people's fears about botched work, and shows them what to look for in a trustworthy worker. If they see you take care of people's appliances and property, they will see you in a positive light. And finally, the before and afters. Now obviously, at the moment you are not putting down cams in the vents, and that might not be an investment you make until some time in the future. But, there are still things you can do to make this happen. For example, a snippet at the end where you hear the very muffled sound of the dryer before, with the thing you use to measure airflow showing the low readings, cutting to the one after you've fixed it. The sound and the number would be great to satisfy that before/after itch. Also, the cubic feet might be the best one to show since the numbers are higher and thus feel more substantial for the untrained viewer. The difference between before and after is more appreciable if you go from 500 to 1500 than if you go from 5 to 15 (just throwing random numbers out there). Ok, so this was a novel and if you don't need it it's fine, but I hope you find something useful in it. Have a good day!
The clean freak in me gets so much satisfaction from your videos.
LOL, glad I can help! I appreciate you watching AND for commenting!!!

SAY THAT LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK, lol! I appreciate ya!
Great explanation, Steve!
Another vent cleaned and another fire hazard eliminated! Keep up the good work.
Thank ya ma'am! I like to think so!!!
Happy memorial weekend
Same to you my friend!❤
Another great video! Happy Memorial Day to all!
Happy Memorial Day to you Chad!
Just subbed! I own a dryer vent company as well so looking forward to learning some new techniques! Great video!
Just subbed! I own a dryer vent company a well! Great video Steve!
Awesome! Let's get together sometime!
I really like this guy’s videos. Very informative and thorough. I am stoked to do my vent clean out!😊
That's awesome! Thx for watching a good luck! YOU GOT THIS!
Wow! Do we know if it was Moe, Larry, or Curly who connected the terminals to the dryer? 😁
HAHA!
HAHAHAHA! Hercules in da house, LOL
Beautiful job 👏
Thank ya!!! ❤
Love watching your videos. And I have watched a lot so far 😂😂😂. That crawlspace, though!!!!!
What type Brand of duct cleaning brush and attachment for the drill do you use ? I have used the sticks and they tend to get stuck I live in Texas thank you enjoy your videos.
I have the same question!
Same question from me
NICE!
Hey Steve I’m curious if you could do an equipment review video? May I ask what company makes the vent brushes you use?
Great job! What do you use if it’s not a metal tube coming out
Only thing you can do is replace all duct with the proper, 4" metal duct! Thx for watching!
❤
@@FinanceWsInChat HAHAHAHAHA! And you're watching EVERY one of my videos! Therefore, keep it up and I appreciate your support!!!!
WOW!
Thx Balo!
Good morning
Good morning to you!!!❤
I was wondering, why do you not check the lint trap in the process of doing the dryer duct work checks? I'm adamant on keeping mine clean but wonder if that is part of the issue besides the dryer pipe itself being stuck with lint.
I always do however I never thought of putting it in the video... Thanks for the suggestion and I'll absolutely start showing that aspect too!
Thank you for replying. Love your videos.
After watching your videos I am so grateful my dryer sits against an exterior wall.
Yeah that’s ideal!! Never really risking a fire, as I assume you clean it often.
That's the way is used to be and should be the case now however we started putting "pretty" ahead of functionality and it's hurting homeowners in the end... I appreciate you watching as well as commenting!
@@dock_yard1149 ABSOLUTELY!!!
My laundry area backs right up against the basement staircase. So the last bit of vent line is a flexi that comes UP thru a hole in the floor. Are there any adapters that make a better connection between vertical hole in dryer to horizontal hole in floor?

Great explanation!
I guess not everyone can be an electrician. Or properly connect some wires. Keep the air flowing Steve...
LOL, thx for watching!
NEVER use a gas blower to purge a vent. That could blow the entire vent out of the house and into the neighbor's yard! 😁
Plus foul the nice air inside the house with CO, but we all know that.
Or maybe you meant blowing from outside-in? But that can blow the fine lint particles all over the laundry room.
@@dock_yard1149 my comment was dripping with levity. 😁😁
HAHAHAHA! Plus the gas fumes kinda linger in your throat, lol
👍👍👍👍
Id like to know more about the equipment you use. Especially the hosing for your brush. I have been attaching each section at a time in AND out. Takes forever
Love your videos I’m new to your channel and I’ve been binge watching them all..
I'm from alberta ,canada. Love the the service you do
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why do they make something so simple so complicated?
You got me..... LOL
Honoring Memorial Day! To all the fallen, injured, and families!

Nicest crawl space ever!
Have you ever had a vent more than 35 feet and a flow pump installed to surfice the extra distance?
This is so interesting to watch. Why? lol
