>find out dryer duct cleaning service is a thing>they charge like $80 minimum>a new one from a hardware store is like $40-60So what's stopping me from making a "cleaning" service where I just swap them out or stick a shop vac in them and be done in 15 minutes? Or is this one of those services that exist but no one falls for?
Just a quick googlifyin>Dryer duct cleaning services generally do not require a specialized state-level license in most locations, but they often require a local business license and, in some cases, specialized certifications like the Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician (CDET) to ensure safety. While not always mandatory, having certifications and liability insurance is highly recommended.
>>2972443You intend to beat the competition by blowing $40-60 more than them on every single job? Genius. And for that reason I am out.
>>2972443And what's your plan if the dryer duct extends like 20 feet into the walls or attic? Demo half the house so you can replace the vent with one of those cheapo flexi vents?
>>2972492OP is a frog poster. Don't expect rational thought.
>>2972448>specialized certifications like the Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician (CDET)that sounds like the real scam
>>2972443This is why I bought one of them vent-less dryers that use heatpumps to recondense the water vapor and pump it into the same drain as the washer. You're not getting my hard earned shekels.
>>2972443>take off cover that goes to the outside>pull out dryer>attach shop vac to blow instead of suck>blow out rats nest>alternatively, use a leaf blower if you have one
the elites don’t want you to know this but drying at home is free just hang the laundry on a washing line
>>2972560I 100% believe it.Gas dryers sold new all the way up to the late 80s were built in a way that they would burst into flames because of excessive lint buildup in the hose. Like your house burn to the ground from it.
>>2972595Pretty sure that would be a drying line though?
>>2972617Youre right, I went full ESL there
>>2972443People do this. There are drill attachments that are large brushes which corkscrews all the shit out. It can get really fucking compact and that shit is extremely combustible. I keep some for fire starter.
