Dryer Vent Cleaning in Channelview, TX

Out here it's usually the vent, and the humidity makes it worse. Channelview sits right where the San Jacinto River meets the Ship Channel, so the air the dryer pulls in is already loaded with moisture. A clean vent still gives you long cycles on a full load in this area, but when lint narrows the duct on top of that, loads start running 70 to 90 minutes and the clothes come out warm and damp. The test we use: we check airflow at the hood before and after cleaning. If the number barely moves after we pull the duct clear, the problem is inside the machine and we'll tell you that instead of selling you more vent work.

Yes, and it's the job we do most often around here. On a manufactured home the duct drops through the floor, runs under the home, and exits through the skirting. That run sits in still, damp air all year, so lint doesn't dry out and blow through the way it does in an attic line. It packs into a wet mat instead. The flex duct also crushes easily down there, from settling piers, a hose, a stored item, or an animal getting under the skirting. We go under with the brush and camera rather than just blowing from the laundry room, because a crushed section won't clear by air alone and needs to be seen and replaced. Plan on us needing skirting access on at least one side.
