Sir: Tell me how you did that I am trying to picture that in my mind.

i find it crazy that it seems like people in my area charge 500$ to clean dryer vent, I have maybe 20 foot straight run out to the side of my townhome. can I simply rent a high power blower or vacum?

Really useful and good to get everything defined and clear. Nothing beats regular duct tape for all the usual daily DIY jobs. Like most guys i constantly have a roll on the go, can't imagine life without duct tape. Greetings to any like minded dudes reading this in 2024 👍 👋

Proof is in the seeing you clean it. Anyone can talk about it.

You are overly paranoid about asbestos. In solid forms like tape, it can only become friable if you take like a sander or angle grinder to it.

If only the insides of the ducts were cleaned, I don't see how the asbestos tape on the outside would have gotten agitated? These ducts typically fit over each other (the connecting portions are about 2 inches deep), then the connections are screwed together. The tape here appears to have been only on the outside.

Thanks for tips man. Only the pros know. I take out Asbestos once a week at least. Nasty deadly. You may save lives with this advice. Wear that PPE guys.

Zippo lighter. Which is awesome because they are non magnetic lol.

So talk and talk and talk and talk, but show us absolutely nothing.

For the compressable semi-rigid transitional hose, would you recommend CUTTING it to size to shorten the length? or would you simply recommend making the connection and then compressing the hoes to be as short as possible to the vent?

The bad part is you’re full of shit

Great idea replace the duct work then call you to clean it. You are hired!

I've always worried about the cats falling down one of the vents while the covers have been off for whatever reason. This is good information because I know that I would freak out and not think to do these simple life saving steps right away.

I’ve definitely demo’s that before

Hey I know that guy!

how do you like it?

Always confused about duck tape versus duct tape. Then I read an article that explained that duck tape was actually called “duck” tape from the beginning of its invention. It was never called “duct” tape. It was never meant to be used for air ducts. So the confusion is people like me thinking that they were hearing duct when people said duck. And I used to correct other people when they said duck tape. I would tell them “no it’s ‘duct’ tape”. I did this for about 20 years until I read this article that proved me wrong. 😂

This information was very helpful and confirms my decision to purchase a semi-flex hose, particularly since the dryer connection is less than a foot from the vent in the wall (when pushed into place.

There goes my hero.

Hi Brandon, around how many filters for 10 ton and 20 ton usually?

How much would a truck like that cost

I do dryer vent service in Southern California and homes in several housing developments I have been in were constructed with 4 inch ABS plastic drain pipe. They used this material because they ran the duct through the concrete slab the house is built on. Dryer vent code today specifies 4 inch smooth galvanized duct only.

Will I be ok if I dropped a mini pencil in my vent you can Clearly see it in my vent and it is on the top part of the vent

Helpful, very helpful! Thank you!

TOO SMALL!!!!!!!! Doesn't anyone make an adapter bigger than 4 inches?? Seriously?

Great video. Problem is I can't find an oval to round adapter that actually fits over or inside my dryer duct in the wall.

It's confusing because it's called duct tape, so that's why so many people use it.

My daughter just dropped an IPad in the vent smh

It generally poses no risk at all, especially if it's underneath the house. You can also paint to encapsulate it.

Great job 👏🏻

Excellent advice thanks

Nice pay day 😊

Duct tape the connections

Well, they were supposed to be pro's when they built my house, but everything they did on my hvac was wrong, and just like you're saying, all that duct tape they used fell off it leaked like a sieve I was in construction for 40 years and have seen it all I don't trust any one to do a good job anymore they even used a gutter down spout for my dryer vent so it was very hard to clean my dryer I opened up the wall and replaced it with a round pipe used for dryers they left felt off my tile roof in several places I found plugs in my house where they cut the the neutral wire to short and used the copper ground instead I don't trust the inspectors they get paid off I would suggest anyone that needs to hire a contractor watch them close go look at their jobs they did look them up check there reviews

All was well stated……Lieutenant JVM

Hi Brandon great video can I asked what you charge per vent for laundromat to clean I am adding dryer vents cleaning to my services thank you .

Technically it's cloth tape, but people started incorrectly using it on air ducts and the name stuck.

Thank u just replaced mine

Ever since removing the screen, birds come and build a nice nest in the rooftop exhaust hood. These cheesy hoods have cheap flapper door designs that either don't fully close, or are easy enough for birds to lift up and get in. So, my question to you, is there a good quality hood for the roof with a flapper that closes properly?

Wow, 4 years later this video saved my life!!

I dropped down a standard metal black, thin, small hair clip. Could it cause a fire? I don't think it got down much.

Does that tape withhold pressure from a high pressure hose that has a small leak?

Hi! Have a question. The adapter doesn’t click when I connect them there is a small gap where the two circular connections are and as I said no click. Is it still ok to use?

The slinky is the wrong choice because its flammable.

So what tools do you use to clean dryer vents? Thanks

I got to wander how much he got paid for this 😢

Lol. Dab a little lick tight on the brush threads. I just seen a local guy to said that us was unsafe to clean it yourself lol.

The origins

He's wrong. We use duct tape fir all ducting work. Yes one ca use metal tape, but DUCT TAPE is fir all duct work, including metal to mylar ducting, such as wyes, couplings supply and return registers. I apologize if getting to technical. Put simply . DUCT TAPE FOR DUCTING AND METAL TAPE AROUND HOTTER SURFACES.

It's hard to remove any tape Duct or metal. Be patient. But. See my previous post. If it's for ducting use DUCT tape. . If it's for metal exhaust flues, use Metal tape.......
