Dryer vents

Spooky areas like this require proper clothing and equipment, often its an area where some issues are present. These spider webs are littered with dryer lint from a poor dryer vent installation. The over sized ducting had no damper and exhausted directly under the unit. Dryer lint has given these webs the Hollywood effect. Dryer lifespan and efficiency will suffer from poor installations. If needed, upgrade to a straight run metal dryer ducting that matches the dryer manufacturing specifications. Ensure the duct port is well connected, has a damper system, and terminates outside away from structure, windows and doors.
