Dryer Vent Installation in Alhambra, CA

Why dryer vent installs fail here, and how we route them
Most of it starts with depth. The dryer gets pushed flat against a garage wall, and the foil flex behind it folds shut. Lint packs the crush point first. Older Alhambra bungalows add a second cause: laundry was tucked into a porch or back room and vented into a crawlspace or under an eave, never to daylight. That moisture has to land somewhere. Garage ceiling staining is usually how owners find out.
A new install starts with the route, not the duct. We measure the run, count elbows, and compare it against what the dryer manual allows. Rigid metal gets used in walls and ceilings. Foil flex only as a short transition, if at all. Joints get clamped, not taped. Taped joints let go and drop lint into garage framing.
Termination matters as much. Screened or louvered caps clog solid with dry lint, so we fit a proper hooded or louvered vent without mesh. Second-floor laundries often need a roof jack, which then collects roof grit and leaf litter.
Gas dryers dominate this housing stock. A bad vent becomes a combustion and CO issue, not just a lint one. We check the gas connection and backdraft behavior before we leave.
