Measure the air, not the hope.
Airflow testing shows how strongly air leaves your vent. It turns a feeling that the dryer is slow into a reading you can compare before and after cleaning.
- Test: With the dryer running
- Where: At the vent hood
What it is, and why it matters.
A dryer can look fine from the outside while its vent is half closed. A simple airflow reading at the hood tells the real story, and it gives you a before and after comparison.
We test with the dryer running, using a handheld gauge at the vent hood, and repeat the test after cleaning or repair. If the reading is still low, we look for the reason, such as a crushed duct or a long run.
Four things done right.
A real reading
A gauge shows what a quick look cannot.
Before and after
You see the change cleaning makes.
Finds hidden restrictions
A low reading points to kinks, length or blockages.
Useful records
Readings can go in your property file.

Dryer Vent Airflow Testing: common questions
What is a good airflow reading?
It depends on the dryer, the duct and the layout, so we compare your before and after readings and the dryer manual rather than quote one number.
Can I test airflow myself?
A simple check is to see whether the vent hood flap opens strongly. A gauge gives a much better answer.
How do I get a quote for dryer vent airflow testing?
