East County dryer calls often involve garage-installed units running in ambient 100°F+ summer temperatures.
Why is my dryer taking forever to dry clothes?
Nine times out of ten, the vent line is clogged. Lint accumulates in the hose, inside the wall run, and at the outside hood, and a clogged vent is a leading cause of dryer fires. The tech cleans the full line and tests airflow before calling the job done.
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
Most households need a full vent cleaning every 1–2 years. Homes with pets, large households, or long vent runs (over 15 feet) should do it yearly. If a repair call is already booked, ask the tech to quote the vent cleaning on the same visit.
