What is included
One bad section or a brand new run for a relocated laundry room, the work follows the International Residential Code and the dryer manufacturer's instructions.
Why it matters
A clean vent that is too long, leaks at every joint or ends in the attic will clog again by spring. The code numbers exist for a reason.
The IRC caps a dryer exhaust duct at 35 feet, minus 5 feet for every 90 degree elbow and 2.5 feet for every 45. Many 1950s ranches in Parma and Euclid blow past it.
Source: International Residential Code M1502.4.5The longest flexible connector allowed between the dryer and the wall. It must be a listed metal transition duct, never concealed in a wall or floor. Foil and vinyl hose do not qualify.
Source: International Residential Code M1502.4.3In 28 percent of clothes dryer fires, dust, fiber or lint was the first item to ignite. Lint escapes through every leaking joint and torn hose and lands on hot metal.
Source: U.S. Fire Administration, Clothes Dryer Fires in Residential BuildingsWarning signs
Cleaning fixes a clogged vent. These symptoms mean the vent is broken, undersized or routed wrong.
Lint on the floor means a joint is leaking or the transition hose has split. Every fiber that escapes is fuel next to a heat source.
If a fresh cleaning did not fix drying time, the run is too long, has too many elbows or is crushed somewhere behind drywall.
A laundry room that fogs the window means the duct is disconnected inside a wall or ceiling and venting into the house.
Lake effect cold turns warm exhaust into condensation in an uninsulated attic run. The water turns lint into a paste no brush removes.
Walk outside while the dryer runs. If no flapper opens, the vent may end in the attic, the crawl space or a wall cavity.
The ribbed interior traps lint and the material sags and kinks. Neither is allowed as exhaust duct, and vinyl can melt.
Older Cleveland homes sometimes vent the dryer into an unused flue or under the house. Both are prohibited and both need a new route.
Long runs with several elbows lose airflow fast. Rerouting or a booster fan brings the dryer back within the code limit.
How it works
We scan the existing run on camera, count elbows, measure developed length and check the termination.
The shortest workable path, the termination location and the materials, with a firm price, explained before anything is cut.
Old hose and damaged sections come out. New duct goes in with sealed joints, proper support and a damper hood or flashed roof cap outside.
We run the dryer, confirm airflow at the hood and scan the new run on camera. You get the video.

Why Green and Clean
The CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician credential is the only national certification specific to dryer venting. We hold it, plus NADCA membership for the rest of your ductwork.
| What matters | Green and Clean | Typical coupon service |
|---|---|---|
| Materials | Rigid metal duct, foil tape, listed transition connector | Foil hose and cloth duct tape |
| Length | Developed length calculated against the code | Not measured |
| Termination | Damper hood, no screen, sealed to siding or flashed on the roof | Screened cap, or none at all |
| Proof | Camera video and airflow reading after the work | "Should be fine now" |
Pricing
The camera survey tells us which of these apply to your house, and you get a firm written price before any work starts.
A short run through an open basement wall is straightforward. A second floor laundry venting through finished ceilings takes more time and material.
A wall hood is quick. A roof termination needs flashing, a proper cap and safe roof access, and an icy roof adds setup time.
Collapsed sections inside a wall, crawl space work or a drywall opening that needs patching each add a line to the estimate.
Unplug the dryer or shut off its gas valve and do not run another load. That is how dryer fires start. Same day visits across Lake, Cuyahoga and Geauga counties.

FAQ
Often, yes. Many long basement runs can exit through the rim joist a few feet from the dryer instead of crossing the house. We measure, count the elbows and show you the options on paper.
Not as exhaust duct, and never inside walls or floors. The code allows one listed metal transition connector up to eight feet long between the dryer and the wall. Everything past that must be rigid smooth wall metal. Vinyl hose is never acceptable.
A wall termination is shorter, easier to clean and less likely to collect condensation, so we choose it whenever the layout allows. Roof terminations work when there is no other path but need a proper dryer cap with a damper, sealed flashing and more frequent cleaning.
Yes. We use guards designed for dryer exhaust, with louvers that open under airflow and close when the dryer stops. Window screen and hardware cloth trap lint and are prohibited by code, so we remove them when we find them.
Sometimes. If rerouting is impossible, a listed dryer exhaust booster fan can make a long run work, but it adds a component that needs cleaning. We recommend it only when shortening the duct is off the table.
It depends on length and route, the termination type and how much damage or access work is involved. The camera survey settles those questions and you receive a free written estimate before any work begins.
