Dryer Vent Inspection in North Jersey

What an inspection covers

We send a borescope down the full vent run and document the condition end-to-end:

• Duct material and diameter — flexible foil, semi-rigid, rigid metal? Code-compliant size?
• Run length and elbow count — most codes cap total equivalent length around 35 feet.
• Lint accumulation at every section.
• Crushed, kinked or disconnected joints — extremely common in older homes.
• Wall and roof cap condition — open, screened, damper-functional?
• Termination location — must vent to the outside, not to an attic, crawl space or soffit.

You get a written report with photos, our findings, and a clear recommendation: cleaning only, cleaning plus a small repair, or a full reroute. No upsell pressure.

When an inspection makes sense

• Buying a home. Standard home inspectors rarely scope the dryer vent. We do.
• Recurring problems. If you've had the vent "cleaned" twice and it still runs hot, the cleaning isn't the problem.
• Insurance request. Some carriers want a written inspection report after a near-miss or claim.
• You don't know where the vent goes. Common in finished basements, condo conversions, and older multi-family homes.

Pricing

Standalone inspection: $129, includes written report and photos. Free when bundled with a same-visit cleaning.
