Dryer Vent Replacement in Gilbert, AZ

Dryer vent replacement in Gilbert homes

Towels take three cycles. The laundry room runs hot. You smell scorched lint. Cleaning helped for a week, then it came back. That pattern usually means the duct itself is the problem, not the lint inside it. Crushed foil transition hose behind the dryer is the first suspect. The second is a joint that came apart in the attic, dumping lint straight into insulation.

Replacement follows the run type. Two-story Gilbert plans usually route vertically through the attic to a roof jack. Horizontal interior runs cross a soffit or wall cavity to a sidewall hood. Garage-wall laundry gets a short exterior run. Townhome closets stack against a chase, which limits what can be rerouted. We replace with smooth-wall rigid metal, joints taped and screwed outside the airflow path, and a hood with a damper instead of a screen. Builder screened covers catch lint fast and should go.

Birds nest in roof and sidewall caps here. Desert dust mixes with lint into a packed layer a brush skates over, so we use a rotary brush with vacuum extraction before deciding anything gets replaced.

Sometimes the old duct is fine and only the transition hose and hood need work. We will tell you that.
