Move to a resale required venting update
The dryer was steaming things vs. drying them. A rainy day when Pat came, the assumption after an internal inspection was that the venting likely needed cleaning, as did the dryer itself. That's honestly almost always the issue with the symptoms my dryer was having. When the problem wasn't remedied, Pat returned promptly, went on the roof for a more thorough inspection and determined the venting didn't exhaust to the outdoors properly. Pat was able to install a new exhaust in the roof and add several feet of new venting to remedy the problem that same day. Fast, courteous, efficient and fair. I will recommend and reuse his services as called for.

Kim I glad the dryer is now drying clothes and not steaming them. LOL!!
A brief note to readers that might be reviewing this article. The "root cause" resulting in Kim's venting problem were two fold; one, the venting in the attic was foil venting that had badly clogged up over the years and slumped in between the joists and two, the soffit vent cap wasn't installed sufficiently to expel the moist, hot air from the dryer. I rerouted the venting with rigid piping, insulated it because it was in a cold space and installed a highly efficient roof top vent. In fact the new run reduced the entire length by over 7 feet.
Thanks for the call.
