Dryer Vent Maintenance in Alhambra, CA

How often does a dryer vent here actually need service?
Most single-family homes in Alhambra, annually. Go closer to every 8–12 months for a second-floor laundry with a long roof run, a large household, a condo interior closet, or a home under heavy tree canopy and Santa Ana dust. Condo and apartment stacks with multiple shared runs lose airflow over time, so one unit rarely fails alone.
What we find: foil flex crushed behind a dryer shoved against a garage wall. Screened or louvered caps, mesh added by owners against birds, packed solid with dry lint. Roof-jack terminations full of lint plus roof grit and leaf litter. Pre-war bungalows venting into a crawlspace or under the eave, never ducted to daylight. Joints taped rather than clamped, so lint drops into wall cavities and garage framing.
Owners describe it plainly. Two and three cycles to dry one load. Dryer cabinet hot to the touch. A burning smell. A garage laundry corner that stays hot. Moisture staining spreading on a garage ceiling.
Gas dryers are the norm in this housing stock. A blocked vent is a combustion and CO issue, not only a lint issue. Crushed foil flex is not worth cleaning; it gets replaced with rigid metal. Roof terminations take longer than a short garage wall run.
