We recently received a call from a home owner in Mississauga expressing concerns after moving in to their home. The home inspector discovered the dryer was not vented outside but was just sat on the sofit with lint everywhere.There was no roof vent installed so this had to be added too.
Also the wrong hose was there too so this had to be changed. Flexible hose should not be used other than to connect your dryer to the duct work, anything inside the walls or ceiling needs to be solid.
Mississauga Dryer Vent Installation
We carry out dryer vent cleaning in Mississauga as well as dryer cleaning and dryer vent insulation so they had called the right company.
In Canada we so many dryer roof vents that are wrong and not meant for dryers. We actually import dryer roof vents that are designed specifically for the job and they work really well. The roof vent was installed and the shingles sealed back down, then the hose was replaced with solid metal duct work and connected to the new dryer vent on the roof. The rest of the line was then snaked out and cleaned leaving a happy owner feeling a lot safer.
