Dryer Vent Inspection in Martinez, CA
Call (925) 578-4251
What a dryer vent inspection actually involves
The dryer gets pulled out first. The transition hose behind it comes off. We look at the wall or floor boot, then feed a camera into the duct. The run gets measured and the elbows counted, because every turn adds resistance. Airflow is checked at the exterior hood with the dryer running. Then we go outside, or onto the roof, to see whether the flapper actually opens.
Run type decides most of it in Martinez. A postwar ranch in the older neighborhoods may have a 4 to 8 foot garage sidewall run. A two-story from the 1980s through the 2000s often has a 20 to 35 foot vertical run to a roof jack. Condo and apartment-conversion laundry closets use interior stacked runs. Raised-foundation cottages push the duct under the floor through the crawlspace.
We report what the camera shows, not a guess. Common findings: white vinyl or foil flex crushed in a tight laundry closet corner, screws piercing a joint and snagging lint, a bird or wasp nest in a broken hood, lint caked at the elbow where the run turns up into the attic, a booster fan packed solid.
An inspection is worth skipping if you cleaned a short straight run last season and towels still dry in one cycle.

What Happens When You Call Us
Call and tell us what your dryer is doing. We ask a few questions about your vent run and give you a two hour arrival window, not a half day of waiting around.
We show up, look at the duct from the dryer to the outside hood, and tell you the price before any tool comes off the truck. The estimate is free whether you book or not.
We clean the line, repair what needs it, then run the dryer and check airflow at the hood with you watching. We vacuum the lint we pulled, and you pay the quoted price, nothing added.
