  1. What if your outer dryer vent is the type with the… I don't know how to describe it exactly but instead of the single door it's the slats that open up when air is blowing past them?

  2. One importing thing to remember. Never run your drill in reverse, even it the brush gets stuck. It can be instinctive to reverse the drill if things get stuck. Keep spining ini a clockwise drirection and work the brush out as best you can. Otherwise, the threaded joints can separate and you'll end up with a much bigger problem.

  3. I have been in my house for 23 years but I know it hasn't been clean since my dad owned it I have never cleaned it just looked at it inside because i can it's only like 4 to 5 feet long I have re attached it because the tape was old and clamp

  4. a friend had the foil kind of extension from dryer to outside – a Squirrel got in thru the trap door, ripped the foil and did damage throughout the basement. An expert had to be called to catch the squirrel

  5. Had one this week. Tried from outside but vent on steep roof. To dangerous. Went inside. Pulled out dryer. The turn in the wall was to sharp. Couldn’t use drill brush. Pulled out compressor and vacuum. Hooked up reverse ball. Fed up as far as it would go and vacuumed lint as it came down. Vacuumed dryer hose and below lint trap on dryer. Finished with an electric leaf blower to remove remaining lint in line to roof. From the outside I could see lint scattered on the roof. Vacuumed floor put everything back together. A happy customer.

  6. I'd never had my dryer vent cleaned out and I've lived here since the early 80s. Saw an ad online for $79 so went for it. When the men from the company got here, they mostly spoke Spanish to each other. The one who seemed to be the more knowledgeable one (man A) mostly spoke Span but the other one (man B) was fluent in Eng. Man A put his cell phone in the vent and took a photo and showed it to me, told me it was really bad and said the price to clean it would be $150. I felt like it was bait and switch but since my dryer had been taking a VERY long time to dry, I went for it. I watched everything they did. Man A also put his phone in the outside vent and showed me the photo. I could see hair and debris and I've had dogs and cats ever since I've lived here so thought the vent line might be packed with this stuff. He used a drill, the long skinny line with the brush on it on the inside behind the dryer. Then went outside. I asked where the stuff was that he's pushed out. He pointed out a very small amt lying on the ground, but I'd pulled that out with my hand a few days ago. Then he put the brush inside this vent. Should I have seen a great deal of lint and hair instead of this very small amt? I ran my dryer after they left and it might have taken a bit less time than it had been taking but not a lot. Bottom line, I think I got gypped. Do you think I did?

  7. Great tip. I had an HVAC professional doing some other work in the house about 6 months ago who cleaned it out for me. The dryer worked much more efficiently once he did that, but now it's starting to lose efficiency so I suspect it's time to clean out the duct again. Will refer to this video again in the future.

  8. My house has 6" diameter ducts and all of the tools I've seen are for 4" ducts which are not large enough to clean the larger ducts. Any ideas where I could find 6" brushes that would fit a kit like this?

  9. For 12.99 I replaced the vent tube or whatever it's called…..my wife just loved all the lint mess when I did this…no lint on you I see…I did this with a sweatshirt on and sht all stuck on me…..12.99 is my go to

  10. The real question is why do you still have dryers that need vents? I haven't seen one of those since the 1990s. Condenser dryers have been standard here for decades. In the last years heat pump dryers have become common. They use 1/3 of the energy.

  11. great job!!! any reason why you don't start from the dry?er machine – > outward ,, as opposed how you did it, i figure, u cldve pushed debris back into the pipe, mine is 15feet elevate to the low part roof
