Old Irving Park Greensboro – Dryer Vent Showcase

Old Irving Park: Community Showcase

Old Irving Park is one of the older, bigger-lot neighborhoods we work in Greensboro. Brick, two-story, long metal runs, dryers that actually get used. We were in several of those houses this year. Same pattern keeps showing up: a strong dryer, a vent that has not been opened in a while, and lint sitting where it should not.

If you live off Country Club, Sunset, or the streets around there and your dryer vent cleaning in Greensboro is overdue, this is what that looks like.

Speed Queen dryers in Old Irving Park

A lot of these homes run a Speed Queen. They last, they move a lot of air, and they make a lot of lint. On one job the lint had blown back onto the control board inside the cabinet. The machine still ran. The vent was not keeping up.

That is the point of pulling the dryer. A clean trap in the door does not mean the pipe is clear.

Packed covers and a full pipe

On another house the exterior door was so loaded it was heavy to lift. The pipe behind it was coated the whole way down. After we ran it, the metal was shiny again and we could see daylight to the cover.

A gas dryer on a different street dumped a pile of lint the size of a small bag. That came out of the run, not the lint screen.

When the cover is shot we replace it with a metal hood and painted stainless screws so it does not rust streaks down the brick. See vent cover repair if yours is cracked, rusted, or packed shut.

FAQ

Do you see a lot of Speed Queen dryers in Old Irving Park?

Yes. In this neighborhood they show up more than anything else. They handle heavy laundry well, which means more lint in the vent if it has been a few years.

How often should these vents be cleaned?

Most of the larger homes here do well on a 2 to 3 year cycle. Daily laundry, long runs, or a packed cover means sooner.

Can you replace a rusted or heavy vent cover?

Yes. We swap those for a metal hood and fasten it with painted stainless screws so the brick stays clean.
