Professional Dryer Vent Repair Service
Damaged dryer vents restrict airflow, waste energy, and create fire hazards. VentFix provides professional dryer vent repair for Estero homes, replacing crushed, disconnected, or improper venting with code-compliant smooth-metal ductwork.
Common vent problems we repair include crushed flexible duct behind the dryer, disconnected joints in attics or crawl spaces, plastic or vinyl ducting (a serious fire hazard that should never be used for dryer vents), and corroded or separated metal duct sections.
Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Repair
Visible crushing or kinking of the duct behind the dryer. Sections of vent that have come apart. Plastic, vinyl, or foil accordion ducting (these are not code-compliant and trap lint). Rust or corrosion on metal ductwork. Vent sections that sag or have low points where lint and moisture collect.
Our Repair Process
We inspect the full vent run to identify all damaged sections. We remove improper materials like plastic or vinyl ducting. We install smooth-metal rigid or semi-rigid ductwork with proper supports and sealed joints. We verify airflow at the exterior to confirm the repair restored proper function.
Florida Building Code requires 4-inch smooth-metal duct for dryer vents, with specific limits on length and fittings. We bring vent systems up to code during repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair just a section of my vent?
Yes. If only a section is damaged, we replace that portion and ensure proper connections to the existing ductwork.
How do I know if my venting is the wrong material?
If your vent uses white plastic, vinyl, or thin foil accordion duct, it needs replacement. These materials are not code-compliant, trap lint, and can melt or catch fire.
How long does vent repair take?
Most repairs take 1 to 2 hours depending on accessibility and the extent of damage.
Do you handle attic and roof vent repairs?
Yes. We repair venting in attics, through walls, and to roof terminations common in Estero condos and townhomes.
