Houses built here before the war were not built with laundry rooms, so the dryer went to the basement. That means a long horizontal run to reach an exterior wall, usually with two or three elbows and a section sagging between joists.

Every one of those is a collection point. Elbows slow airflow and give fibre something to catch on; sags gather both lint and the condensation that forms when warm moist exhaust meets a cold basement wall. Wet lint packs several times harder than dry, and that is what turns a slow dryer into a blocked one.

Job	Typical price
Basement run under 15 feet	$130 - $170
Long or multi-elbow basement routing	$170 - $240
Added to a chimney sweep, same visit	$90 - $120
Exterior hood replaced	quoted on findings

Why we finish at the outside wall

The exterior hood flap is supposed to open under airflow and fall shut when the dryer stops. Matted lint holds it partway open, and in a Kalispell January that means sub-zero air moving back up the duct between loads. Residual humidity condenses against that cold air and freezes, the ice binds more lint, and the flap opens wider still. It compounds all winter.

Cleaning from the laundry room alone never addresses that, which is why we work the whole run and finish outside with the hood off. It is also why we measure airflow at the exterior terminal rather than inside - the number at the outlet reflects the whole system, including the part that actually fails.
