Dryer Vent Repair, Rerouting & Bird Guards

Common dryer vent problems we fix

• Crushed transition hose behind the dryer, usually from pushing the dryer back too far.
• Plastic or foil accordion hose. It sags, traps lint and isn't meant for long runs. We replace it with semi-rigid or rigid metal duct.
• Disconnected line inside a wall or attic, dumping hot, wet lint into the house.
• Runs that are too long or have too many turns. We reroute for a shorter, straighter path when possible.
• Broken or stuck exterior covers. Flaps that stick shut, cracked plastic hoods and missing screens.
• Bird and rodent nests. We clear them out and install a bird guard that keeps animals out while still letting lint escape.

Bird guard and vent cover replacement

Florida birds love warm dryer vents. A nest can block the line completely in a few days. A properly sized bird guard keeps them out without trapping lint. We replace brittle plastic hoods with durable covers that close properly, so rain and pests stay outside.

Why metal duct matters

Smooth metal duct moves air faster, collects less lint and won't melt or tear. Building codes generally call for metal duct for dryer exhaust. If your home still has a long run of white plastic or thin foil hose, replacing it is one of the cheapest safety upgrades you can make.
