Royal Oak grew from 6,007 people in 1920 to 22,904 in 1930, and the older blocks are full of houses from that rush. None were built with a clothes dryer, so the vent was cut in decades later and routed around the joists, and lint settles in every bend.

The vent in a Royal Oak bungalow from the 1920s is a long run with bends almost by default, and lint packs into each one. On Loaded the whole run is cleared at the winter visit, from the dryer to the outside wall.

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 Royal Oak: Home upkeep in Royal Oak.
