Dryer vent inspections help identify airflow restrictions, material issues, and improper installations. They are especially valuable for older homes, new homeowners, and properties with shared or commercial laundry systems.
What a Dryer Vent Inspection Includes
A professional inspection typically evaluates:
- Vent materials and connections
- The full vent run for blockages or buildup
- Crushed, disconnected, or unsafe ducting
- Vent length, routing, and airflow efficiency
When a Dryer Vent Inspection Is Recommended
Dryer vent inspections are commonly recommended:
- After purchasing a home
- When drying times increase
- Before installing a new dryer
- For rental properties or commercial laundry setups
Inspection vs. Cleaning: What’s the Difference?
Inspections focus on identifying system issues and airflow limitations, while cleanings remove accumulated lint and debris. Many inspections lead directly to recommended cleaning or repair services.
Dryer vent inspections provide a clear understanding of system condition and help determine the most appropriate service moving forward.
