Ferndale houses from the 1920s and 1930s were not built with the laundry where it sits now, and most have picked up an addition or a finished basement since. Every move like that dragged the dryer vent along, longer than it started, and a run bent around a newer wall is where lint settles first.

In a Ferndale house from the 1920s, the dryer carries the whole load once winter shuts the clothesline down. Loaded clears it at the winter visit, bends and all, so the dryer dries in one run again.

The schedule.

Once a year covers most houses. A long run with bends, or a laundry room on the second floor, wants it every six months. On Loaded it is done at the winter visit.

What the visit looks like.

The dryer comes away from the wall and the duct comes off its back. The whole run is cleared from the dryer to the outside wall, and the flap outside is checked to swing free with the dryer running. What the run looked like gets noted in the record.

On a plan, this job is done during one of the four visits. The plans, priced for Ferndale: Home upkeep in Ferndale.
