🚨 This is why the right dryer vent material matters! 🚨
At a recent job, we found vinyl flex pipe being used for the dryer vent. While it may seem like a simple solution, this type of material can create serious airflow problems over time.
❌ Vinyl flex can collect lint
❌ It can constrict and restrict airflow
❌ It can pull away from the wall over time
❌ It is extremely difficult — and with today’s cleaning tools, often impossible — to properly clean
When a dryer vent is restricted, your dryer has to work harder and can take much longer to dry your clothes.
At Dryer Vent Squad, we use 26-gauge metal dryer vent pipe to provide a durable, cleanable, properly installed venting system. Proper venting isn't just about performance — it's about safety, too.
If you’re unsure what type of dryer vent pipe you have, give us a call. We’d be happy to take a look!
