Well Curtis, that wire sure blocked that vent.. Enjoy your break away from work, you have earned it 🏖 Au
Not the typical one
I had one where roofer hit the pipe and all the wasps' and dirt doggers' nests fell inside the inducer motor. New install too. 😂
Good job Curtis have a great time at Ahr thanks for the video
Good video ! i Believe You have a Blower on your truck. that's the best way i've found to check flow on a Dryer vent & Blow them Clean.
I also use a Dryer vent Brush Cleaning kit. They Work Well ! You Can Get them at home depot.
Pipe probably full too
I don’t like roof vented dryer
I put one in wash room fill with water and water catches lint. Seems always blows well
Doesn't stop vapor from causing mold though
hopefully electric dryer! if not you're pumping carbon monoxide into the house (CO gas)
Whoever thought a dryer venting through the roof was a good idea should be the one who cleans it. I have one those and routinely clean it bimonthly. There’s no easy way to keep critters out of it without that screen.
They make same vent with spring flapper. Installing one with screen is wrong. Sometimes you gotta put them through roof. Try to avoid. Same with wall vents tho. Gotta remove the screens for dryers.
Hardware Cloth was a Dumb Idea over the Vent. It might keep Birds Out of Vent Pipe but it’s Not going to Stop Wasps and/or Lint Jamming Up the Vent Pipe. 🤔👍
squirrels love to get in them too. even get chipmunks on the roof here at times. no vents on my roof! except the plumbing vent stack of course.
Dryer vents shouldn't have screens, wall mounted exhausts only have louvers, love it when exhausts are placed right behind a condenser
Someone really needs to service that dryer. When the vent is plugged and the dryer runs, the exhaust and lint needs to go somewhere, so it will vent into the dryer interior, coating the inside and encroaching on the burner (this will happen to some extent even if the vent is kept clear and is the primary cause of heating element failure). The end result is it can burn up the heating element or worse cause a fire.
Have a super vacation, my friend. Try to do it every year.!!
I have been watching you for years,I have learned a lot form you, have a great time at AHR this year. Wixh I could make it I would love to meet you. 😀
Thanks! I appreciate the support.
I haven’t been on a roof in a while. More than five months.
Enjoy your vacation man!!
Did she ever clean her dryer lint filter?
Never seen a dryer vent on a roof before
Venting clothes dryers through the roof is one of the worst building practices.
As a HVAC industrial TECHNICIAN I can confirm the (ventilation) is the most neglected phase of our training. The primary training concentrates 1 air conditioning/chillers 2 heating 3 electrical 4 controls and at a distant 5 air flow/ventalation “dirty part of the job. Ventilation usually gets neglected or farmed out to people NOT IN THE HVAC trade
Nice job, I am not a fan of roof vents for dryers. I know at times it is unavoidable. When you have them, they need to be on a schedule to be cleaned every 3 to 6 months, IMO. Even normal style vents need to be cleaned now and then. Many fires start because of it.
Our dryer is used several times a week. Last time we had to clean it was five years ago. It doesn't go thru. the roof. It goes thru. the side wall and used a flap louver that opens when the dryer is in use,
@@bobboscarato1313 That is the best way Bob. Mine is pretty good except I have a 90 where it comes out of the dryer, so I keep an eye on it.
Wow...the video from the rooftop made me dizzy just sitting in my chair.
Yea these mesh screens are always a bad idea for dryer vent caps. There will always be plenty of lint in exhaust, no matter how fine your dryer's removable filter is.
It's against code here in Florida now, for this very reason. All dryer vents are required to be completely open with no obstructions. It's one of the top causes of house fires, especially with people that put cloths in the dryer and leave for the store/work/etc. They're not the sharpest spoons.
Also, most people don't even know this is a thing, but be sure to clean your dryer's heating elements yearly. Just look for a small panel on the back of the machine, should only be a few screws, open it up and clear any lint out. Careful not to damage the elements. And make sure the machine is unplugged obviously.
That do not work on LG, GE, & SAMSUNG. You will have to take the drum out.
@@carlsmith5919 I just looked up LG and that's insane. You have to take 80% of the machine apart (including the drum) just to access the elements lol
Correct also Frigidaire. Dryers should NEVER be vented like that. Our company is in hvac and appliance repair. So we see a lot of this. Many houses have caught fire because of this STUPID venting. The customers have no idea what this does. What are you in the North with snow or in the South with high humidity. The lint is going to get trapped in the vent. Then you have to think about moisture running back down that vent into the dryer. Customers should have the option to sue contractors for unsafe construction.
wow tyat attic access & HVAC kinda packed in super tight as it appeared & hard access to control panels
interesting building code
Curtis, how long have you been doing HVAC?
The screen is a fire hazard. Always pull them
Curtis that return on that system is that normal in y’all’s market
And that folks is how you burn your home down, dryer vents are never supposed to be covered!!!
A dryer vent is not supposed to go up through the roof it's supposed to go down under the floor or straight through a wall to the outside
I’m not a construction worker but I think having the dryer vent go out the roof is a very bad idea. Did anyone notice all the lint in the attic? That is one big fire hazard waiting to happen.
"Ventilation" in HVAC has to do with exchanging room air with outside air to improve indoor air quality, not exhaust vents for fuel appliances.
you're so right it is part of our job shuffle my other friends who are in the business refuse to do such small things don't bother me work is work
You might want to go back and put a new mesh with larger square opening. If not, birds are going to start nesting(leaves, straw) in the vent causing another worst blockage.
What kind of mount is that for your go pro? I have only seen the chest mounts with the straps.
Snap Mounts
No dryer is going to dry clothes in 19 minute as stated by the customer!
I have to ask, why did they call you for a dryer vent.??? Just asking 😅
Hopefully no tree-rats get in there. Did you quote any additional work for a cage, or routine cleaning?
Why are Vince run like that wouldn’t be easier just to run it under the house and come out to the side the way it be more convenient to get to if it happens to clog up
I sure hope no birds or squirrels or raccoons or bats looking to stay warm get in there you should have left that screen in there or quoted her a new trap installation or fashion a new screen that would cover the vent?
BS. If you put a screen over that opening, you will be Back there in a month doing the same thing.
@@JamesAgans yeah but it’s better than nothing plus if a critter gets in there and dies guess who there going to be calling? plus that’s why i said put a new style vent quote? plus it would take another ten years to be clogged up again like that
I hope you put a screen back in the vent that can easily be serviced. Otherwise there will be birds getting into the attic.
👍👍👍
Why on Earth would anyone vent out an air dryer like this? Lint always clogs grilles and without the grille, wildlife finds its way in.
Whoever put that wire crap in that vent is an idiot.
Gee--aren't you concerned that squirrels, etc will now enter that duct?
Now rats have an access point to get in.
ROFL from a roof? Brother in Christ they just chew through the house siding. You're just finding something, anything, to criticize...
@@Calc_Ulator bot
Did someone connect their clothes dry to the same vent?
That's not the right vent hood for a dryer. It's for bathroom fans. It's going g to clog up again. If you took off the screen, it's not good for birds to get in.
they still sell the exact same one as of today, the screen should be removed for dryer venting. I suggest adding a damper directly before it.
yes rodents will get in it and right into the dryer blower wheel and heaven forbid someone used flex inside to connect the dryer, they'll tear right through it and be in the house.
Hey people, stfu about the screen removal, it doesn't stop shit anyways.
