Straighten out the squeeze.
A dryer pushed back against the wall can crush its duct and choke the airflow. We repair the damage and set things up so it does not happen again.
- Fix: Replace the crushed section
- Layout: Gentler bends
What it is, and why it matters.
A kinked or crushed duct acts like a hand around a garden hose. The dryer can still turn on, but air barely moves, so loads take longer and the dryer overheats.
We replace the crushed section, route the duct with gentle bends and, when space is tight, suggest a recessed wall box or a different elbow so the dryer can sit closer to the wall without squeezing the duct.
Four things done right.
Finds the pinch
We locate the crushed spot, even when it is hidden.
Gentle routing
Bends are shaped to keep air moving.
Space-saving options
A recessed box lets the dryer sit closer without crushing.
Tested afterward
We confirm the airflow improved.

Crushed or Kinked Duct Repair: common questions
Why does my dryer crush its duct?
Tight spaces and short elbows push the dryer into the duct when it is slid back. Better routing or a recessed box prevents it.
Can I fix a crushed duct myself?
You can often see it, but a lasting fix needs the right parts and routing. We can handle it quickly.
