Dryer vent reroute and reattach.
When the original install was wrong (or has come apart), no amount of cleaning fixes it. We re-route the line so the air actually leaves your house.
Half the dryer problems we see in South Florida aren't dirty vents — they're badly installed ones. Foil hose crushed behind the dryer. 30-foot runs with five 90° bends. Vents terminating in attics or crawl spaces (a code violation that quietly dumps humidity into your insulation). Vents that came disconnected at a wall joint and are now pumping all the lint into the wall cavity. When we find any of these, we re-route or reattach the line properly.
Common issues we fix
Detached at the wall behind the dryer (very common — the flex hose pulls off and the dryer goes on running). Termination into attic or crawl space (code violation; humidity damage waiting to happen). Excessive run length (Florida builds often have 25+ feet to a roof termination — code limit varies). Too many bends (every 90° elbow counts as 5 feet of vent line). Crushed or twisted flex pipe behind the dryer.
What "to code" actually means
Florida residential code calls for rigid or semi-rigid smooth-wall metal duct, no more than 35 feet total equivalent length, terminating outdoors with a back-draft damper. The duct should slope downward toward the exterior. We bring every install we touch up to that standard — and if your house has structural limits that make code impossible, we tell you up front so you can decide what trade-offs you're comfortable with.
When a reroute pays for itself
If your dryer runs 90+ minutes per load, the vent is the most likely cause. After a proper reroute, the same loads usually run 35–50 minutes. That's hundreds of hours of motor wear and electric bill savings per year — most reroutes pay for themselves inside 18 months.

My dryer is in an interior room with a 35-foot run to the roof. Is that ok?
