If you are not sure whether your dryer vents through the roof, a look at the roof or the attic usually answers it.
Roof pitch and height help us plan safe access.
The crew sets up roof access and checks the cover.
Lint is cleared from the cover and the full vent run.
The dryer is run to confirm air is moving freely at the roof.
Long vertical runs and covers that restrict airflow let lint collect at the top of the vent.
We do not recommend it. Roof work carries a fall risk, and the full run needs cleaning too.
Screens on dryer vent covers catch lint and clog quickly. We flag them during cleaning.
Follow your dryer manufacturer’s guidance and have it checked sooner if drying times increase.
