Dryer Vent on a two story home in Chattanooga
When you own or rent a two story home you may have extra concern with a dryer vent clogging up. If your dryer vents out through your roof in Chattanooga the dryer has to blow the lint up which can be 20 feet just to exit the home.
Once the lint gets to the exit point on the roof there is a mushroom shaped piece of sheet metal on the end of the vent. This is designed to let lint out and rain water out. The problem is the lint gets stopped as it goes to exit the vent and clogs up. The lint gets thicker and thicker on the vents walls until nothing passes by.
When a vent exits through the roof you should have it cleaned each year or two in Chattanooga.
