This one shows a downstairs dryer with a hidden surprise... Also, an incorrect exterior damper!
Please check out my website for my Quick Connect Periscope! It's the PERFECT product that replaces the flex hose connection and GETS THE MACHINE CLOSER TO THE WALL! Safer than ANY flex hose behind your dryer! No more fooling with connecting the dryer to the duct! No more lint leakage forcing you to dust constantly!

Cleaning your dryer vent should be on your "to do" list regardless of if you own or rent your home! ESPECIALLY if your vent is run in a tight crawl space.

Story: After moving into my new house in 2004 (dryer vents to roof - single story house) At that time I had no clue ... I thought the dryer was wrecked...so I called appliance repair and they said vent was clogged...so the repair guy looked on the roof and was shocked to find out that the builders had put a freaking bathroom vent cap!!... I literally called the builder... they sent someone out and put in a proper dryer vent roof cap... only they never removed the SCREEN!! I don't get why a dryer vent would even come with a screen at all... I'm so glad I don't have to deal with this anymore... but it's satisfying to watch on youtube
thanks for watching! They all come with a screen because the same roof damper/cap is used for bath fans as well as dryer vents.
Thank you for wearing a mask. It's not just the lint, but the chemicals from detergent and fabric softener that were used when doing the laundry that's coming out of those vents.
See! I told y'all I would listen to ya! I'm humbled by the outpouring of love and suggestions you guys have proposed! I appreciate you all!
@@advsLLCPlease wear eye protection and work gloves on your hands! Protect your eyes and hands and keep wearing long sleeves to protect your arms. ❤❤Your bossy viewer says safety first!
@@annmoss7230 LOVE IT! I'll do my best, LOL!
I like your videos the most out of all the vent cleaning videos, you actually show from start to finish and explain the things that need explaining. Keep up the great work! 🩷 From Alberta Canada!
Thanks Canada!!!!! ❤❤❤
So if you don’t screen the dryer vent how do you keep birds out? I’ve seen birds on other houses in my neighborhood lift up those flaps and hustle right in!
It's best to use the damper I installed on this one... It's much more difficult for birds to get in due to the interior design. Also, in a vent the goes through the crawl space, the opening is way too low for a bird to be interested. Thanks for watching and your comment!
My coworker was helping his widowed Mom out one weekend and told me that Monday it was a miracle his parent's house hadn't burned down. He discovered his Dad had vented the dryer vent into the wall with no external exhaust. Yes, a good 15 years of fuzz build-up. He said at least it was insulation there.
Oh my... WOW! Glad it was found before something even worse happened! Thx for watching!!!
Not to mention mold
Your a very informative presentation is just right!
When I did dryer vent cleaning here in TN, I have a case full of louvers because they were always brittle from the sun and always missing or snapped when I barely touched them.
LOL!!! I have a pretty large selection myself!!! Thx for watching!
I must add a tip, folks love dryer sheets but they can leave a bit of residue on the filter and along the hose to add misery and fluff. So if you can avoid them it's best.
BAM!!!! You are correct! Dryer sheets have a surfactant that when heated, it turns into basically glue that gets pushed through your vent and eventually causes more lint to stick vs using liquid fabric softener! So glad you brought this up!!!
I never use them, things are soft enough with a bit of fabric softener and the tumbling action. Too much waste and unnecessary expense.
@@nicolad8822 Fabric softener sheets are terrible for your dryer AND dryer vent! They actually make the lint stick to the inner wall of the vent!
Great comments from everyone. I don’t use commercial fabric softener or dryer sheets for the reasons everyone has discussed. The best fabric softener is white vinegar-regular strength-NOT white cleaning vinegar, which is too strong. About 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup vinegar and soft clothes, fluffy towels and no vinegar smell.
Great video!
Nice job!
You definitely could have edited a lot of nothing going on out
True... I've only been doing this UA-cam/video aspect for 2.5 months.... I can rebuild your house however video creation isn't my strong suit... I'd bet I pick it up rather quickly though! Thx for your feedback!
The louverd dryer vent is one of my favorite vents. just make sure it’s cleaned and make sure it don’t have a screen on it but great video!👍
Thanks for watching Gamer!!!!
@@advsLLC anytime!
There is something satisfying about the videos. I'm not sure what, but l enjoy them 😀😀😀👍👍👍 A subscriber from Australia
😂. For some reason I enjoy my “job” more than most! Thx for sharing your thoughts!!!❤
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍
NICE!!!
Thank you!!!
You should learn to speed edit the long minutes so we aren't sitting watching nothing happening for long stretches.
THAT WOULD BE HUGE , but give the man his time man :)
Agreed... That was when I was just learning video editing... Stick with me, I'll get better, lol
@@Vitaliy-zu2xr LOL, I'm getting there! It's funny/embarrassing to go back and look at some of my earlier content.. HAHAHA! Thx!
Great video! Thx for sharing!
Nice job, Steve!
Hopefully you saw the mask Bob!!! I was waiting for your response my friend!
@advsLLC ah yes, I did notice the mask. Glad you got it.
If you really thought that it didnt matter, why did you drill 4 holes and install 4 anchors? Also do you plan on sealing anything?
Did you watch the video? If so, maybe you’d see why! And I installed an exterior damper to masonry the way it should be! Let me guess, you just caulk dampers to the exterior? Please explain and I’ll back my work up EVERY DAY!
However we're all here, patiently waiting and excited to hear how YOU would've fixed it! ALL EARS ChuckD!
WOW!
No reason , how about critters getting in. The vent needed caulk and a screen on the bottom ❗️🇺🇸
No, you aren’t supposed to screen a dryer vent… You may want to watch some of my other videos bc I go in depth about dryer vent screens. Also, why caulk the damper when it’s right beside a foundation vent which is literally a 16”x8” huge hole in the same foundation…
This would be cool, the zoo comes to me!😉
“Man I love a good drill bit….”. There are thousands of us out here who know exactly what you mean by that.
Good idea to carry a First Aid kit in car.
Why don't you wear gloves?
Sealant! Need to be applied.
There is so much wrong in the videos I have watched, So I am going to tell you the truth and it is not meant to insult you but to try to school you in the right direction, drilling a 4 inch deep hole for a 1 inch anchor is Ludacris, get yourself some tap cons use the correct size bit, squirt a little silicone in the hole and tighten the screw and if you are going to drill 4 holes then fill them, (laziness, sloppy, poor workmanship). using a 5 in one as you were and chipping the brick, no good. You did not seal anything and I mean anything, (lazy, poor workmanship) water intrusion is the absolute worst thing for a home, always keep the critter cage on, just needs to be cleaned more ( shows you need to learn more about your job and services) the editing where do I start, do not leave the viewers alone for one second, edit the video so people are not looking at a hole for minutes on end till you show back up, anyway I wish you well, did not mean it in a rude manner, just SMH.
That brown caulk they put around the screen looks like
SHIT! They could have cleaned that plate screen the whole time before!
Need proper tools. ..and gloves
A lot of wasted time just looking at a hole. Next time please edit it. 😢
Seriously no offense but this is just poor work . No sealant means water will get in. No anchors on the screws means they'll fall out soon as moisture gets in and finally no screen means any Little critter can climb right in and live in your dryer. Not to mention the editing who leaves that much idol footage in their videos
You clearly didn’t watch the video! Good try though! Try watching again! As well as learning about dryer vents!
And I’m the one that left that much footage. Don’t like it, don’t watch!
@@advsLLC ok my apologies I am not an expert in any of these fields and have no right to criticize your work and as I sit here and put a little extra thought into this video I come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how I feel about your work or what you do or don't do cause the moral of the story is no one is ever going to practice proper vent maintenance 😁
No, you've insulted my work multiple times while offering absolutely nothing to the conversation.... No anchors? So you think i just screwed into masonry? WOW! Also, if you watched the video, or knew anything about wall caps/dampers, you'd see I use the best options available. My channel is here to help educate people of a real danger in their home. Don't call me out for something you know nothing about! I actually appreciate you watching and giving your thoughts however let me see you do it! If it doesn't interest you, DON'T WATCH!
@@advsLLC AGAIN WITH ALL APOLOGIZES I have looked into it and with one third of over three thousand annual dryer fires could be avoidedable with proper vent maintenance I agree this real danger is a great message to get out there. You could see if your local insurance companies could offer discounts for people that maintain their vents
Great video!
WOW!
