Damaged exterior caps, broken vent boots, disconnected joints, rodent damage. We fix what's broken without ripping out walls when we can avoid it.
The exterior cap is the most weather-exposed component of the system. Plastic caps in particular crack and lose their dampers within five years. We replace with a metal cap with a functioning damper and a screen rated to keep birds out without trapping lint.
If you can't remember the last time the cap closed properly, there's a real chance something has moved in. We remove the nest, sanitize the duct, and install a proper cap.
Foil flex duct fails at the joint connections. Inside a wall or above a ceiling, this means hot, lint-laden air is venting into your insulation rather than outside. We open access only where strictly needed, replace the failed section with rigid metal, and reseal.
If the dryer was pushed flush against the wall, the transition hose behind it gets crushed. The dryer has to push air through a kink, and lint accumulates fast. We replace with a periscope or short rigid run and shim the dryer to keep clearance.
Roof terminations take a beating from sun and weather. We can replace the roof cap and reseal the flashing in most cases without involving a roofer.
Squirrels and raccoons love a damaged cap. We remove the animals (when present), sanitize, repair the cap and any chewed sections of duct, and install rodent-resistant termination.
We don't do drywall finish work. If a repair requires opening a wall, we'll open the smallest possible access panel and let your handyman or finisher close it up. This keeps cost down and lets you control the finish.
