Clogged Dryer Vent?
I recently purchased a new dryer because the old dryer was taking forever to dry the clothes. Before installing the new one I noticed the pipe for the air vent where the dryer attatches to was 3/4 full of wet lint goo. I tried to clean what I could reach but the pipe goes up 20 plus feet on to the roof of the house. The pipe is made of PVC and goes through the attic. What is the best way to get this cleaned or do I have to get it replaced? What companies do this type of thing? Is this expensive?
Your old dryer was probably O.K.. If your dryer is located on an outside wall ,which I'll bet is not the case, it should be vented through the exterior wall. The system you described is very poor at best,but it sounds like it worked for a time,so use compressed air, a plumbers snake or a vacuum cleaner, ect. to remove lint from pipe. You may have to attack the problem from above also. Once cleaned keep your eye on it because it won't stay clean long.
