I satisfied an Owner at one of his residential or commercial properties the other day who had a major water problem with his clothes dryer air vent line. After meeting the Owner, he took me to his basement and also opened up a storage room. There was a versatile dryer tube hanging right before my face in a large U development hood vent cleaning. The Owner claimed, "I think there is water in below." Certainly, this is why his Tenants were having trouble drying their garments.

I got hold of the hose, jostled it backward and forward, as well as the sound of water made a whooshing noise, it seemed like there was 2 gallons of water in the vent line. The weight of such a big amount of water caused the duct line to droop to a couple of feet above the floor. Luckily, the hose really did not yet cause as well as damage water damages around his floor.

I claimed to the Homeowner, "The builder should have been really lazy due to the fact that he needs to never ever of mounted this kind of versatile dryer air vent line in the walls. He needs to have installed the rigid steel type of clothes dryer air duct." Builders occasionally set up the adaptable aluminum foil type of air duct line in wall surfaces, as well as have actually been also understood to in some cases exit the dryer duct right into attics which is very harmful.

When a versatile vent is mounted as opposed to the rigid metal kind, if there is a little water condensation from drying clothes, this water can build up as well as begin to droop the air vent line. And also when the duct line sags, it just collects more and more water. The water will at some point absolutely block the air vent line when it sags, and also entirely block the air movement. When there is an air flow clog due to water buildup, it can seriously damage a dryer as well as make even an effective brand-new dryer worthless.

In some cases, the water can likewise come from the exterior when the outside cover isn't sealed correctly and rain puts right into the dryer duct. The straightforward option for this is to seal the outside air vent cover with clear caulk or to install a new cover. The outside air vent cover for this home owner was under a overhang where rain wouldn't reach it, so the water was definitely originating from his clothes. Usually, water condensation in the air duct line isn't an issue, yet given that he had a versatile hose inside the wall, the tiniest quantity of water triggered it to droop as well as catch more and more water.

I ordered a large plastic bucket, placed it under the drooping air vent line, secured a pen, as well as popped it with a hole. It nearly seemed like a procedure. The water gushed out of the duct line and also into the pail along with a blend of dust. After all the water drained, I just taped up the hose pipe with vent tape.

After dealing with the water issue, I set about my regular cleansing treatment and combed out the air vent line from the inside, placed my blower in the vent line, and continued to brush it from the exterior. A lot more line blew out, and also the air movement finally returned to in the air vent line and was blowing out solid.

I met an Owner at one of his homes the various other day that had a significant water issue with his dryer air vent line. I got the pipe, jostled it back and also forth, and also the noise of water made a whooshing audio, it really felt like there was 2 gallons of water in the air vent line. When a flexible vent is set up instead than the stiff steel kind, if there is a little water condensation from drying out garments, this water can build up and start to droop the vent line. The water will eventually completely block the air vent line when it droops, and also completely obstruct the air movement. Normally, water condensation in the air duct line isn't an issue, however since he had a versatile hose pipe inside the wall, the least amount of water created it to sag and trap more and also extra water.
