New Irving Park Greensboro – Dryer Vent Showcase

New Irving Park: Community Showcase

New Irving Park is not Old Irving Park. Different streets, different houses. More ranches and splits, crawlspaces, and dryer vents that dump under a deck. We were in several of those houses this year.

If you live in New Irving Park and dryer vent cleaning in Greensboro is overdue, this is what that looks like.

Soggy flex in the crawl

One run was foil flex under the house. We cut a section. Wet lint, packed to the wall, and it smelled. Flex does that in a crawl. It sags, it holds water, and the lint turns to sludge.

We pulled the whole thing and laid it on the walk. Hard metal went back in. Mastic on the joints. Heavy-duty straps on the turn out of the laundry room so that elbow stays put. That is a dryer vent repair, not a brush-and-go.

Covers under the deck

A lot of these homes exit under a deck. One still had the old 70s box. Tight opening. Lint had nowhere good to go.

We put on a metal hood that is pest proof and sends the lint down, not up into the deck boards. If yours is that old white box, or the flapper is packed shut, see vent cover repair.

On another house the cover was only a year from the last cleaning. Daily laundry had loaded the flapper so heavy it barely opened. That is usage, not a long run.

FAQ

Why replace flex in a crawlspace instead of cleaning it?

Flex sags and holds water. This one was wet and sour. Metal, mastic, and real straps is the fix that lasts.

Why change a vent cover under a deck?

The old 70s boxes are restrictive and they throw lint up into the boards. A metal hood dumps down and keeps pests out of the pipe.

We do laundry every day. Do we need service sooner?

Yes. One cover here packed in a year. Daily loads will load a flapper faster than a 2 to 3 year cycle.
