Hamilton Forest: Community Showcase
Hamilton Forest sits on the west side of Greensboro. Bigger lots, crawlspaces, dryers that actually get used. We were under one of those houses in August. The semi-rigid dryer vent had split open. Lint and moisture had been dumping onto the dirt for years. You can see it in the flashlight.
If you live out that way and your dryer vent cleaning in Greensboro is overdue, this is what a failed crawl run looks like.
The crawlspace mess
The pipe was still hanging. It just was not closed. Semi-rigid looks like metal until it kinks and the seam lets go. The dryer still ran. All that exhaust went under the house.
If your vent is split like that, we replace it. That is a dryer vent repair, not a brush-and-go.
Towel lint and a clean dryer
On a later Hamilton Forest stop the pipe was packed with towel lint. You can see the cotton in the tube. We ran it until we had a hole again.
We also pulled a dryer and cleaned the cabinet. I do not have a before shot of that one. After, the metal is bare and the blower path is open.
The roof covers in the gallery are from nearby west Greensboro jobs, not this crawlspace. Same cluster as Hamilton Hills. Packed hoods and a handful of lint show up on this side of town a lot.

FAQ
Can a semi-rigid dryer vent split in the crawlspace?
Yes. It kinks, the seam opens, and the exhaust goes on the dirt. The dryer still sounds normal.
Why is there lint on the crawlspace floor?
The pipe was open. Years of heat, moisture, and lint. That is why we look under the house, not just at the cover.
Do you clean inside the dryer?
Yes. We pull the machine and clean the cabinet when the job needs it. A clean lint screen does not mean the blower path is clear.
How often should Hamilton Forest vents be cleaned?
Most of these homes do well on a 2 to 3 year cycle. A long crawl run or a packed roof cover means sooner.
