Does your vent follow the rules?
Dryer venting has rules about length, bends, duct type and the exit. A code check compares your setup with common requirements and your dryer manual.
- Checks: Length, bends, duct type and exit
- Compares with: Common requirements and your manual
What it is, and why it matters.
Many dryer vents were installed before anyone checked the rules, or with parts that are no longer recommended. A check shows where yours differs.
We measure the run, count the bends, identify the duct and look at the exit. We explain how each point compares with common requirements and your dryer manual. Final code decisions belong to your local building department.
