Dryer Vent Installation and Repair Done Right
Dryer vent installation and repair from Fresh Cleaning Solutions gives your dryer a short, sealed, smooth path to the outside, so it dries faster, runs cooler and stops pushing lint into your walls. We fix crushed and disconnected vents, swap out foil and vinyl hose, reroute runs that are too long, and put on new dryer vent hoods across Suwanee and Gwinnett.
Most dryer problems people call about are not the dryer at all. The machine is fine. The vent behind it is flattened against the wall, pulled loose in the crawl space, or snaking through the attic with too many turns. Air can't get out, heat builds up, and your clothes come out damp after two cycles.
A good dryer vent repair fixes the cause for good. We inspect the full vent to find the problem, fix it with the right material, clean the whole line, and show you photos of what we found and fixed. You get a flat rate before any work starts.

Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Repair or Replacement
Your dryer tells you when the vent is failing. Watch for these:
- Towels and jeans need two or three cycles to dry
- The laundry room feels hot and sticky while the dryer runs
- A burning or musty smell when the dryer is on
- The top of the dryer is hot to the touch
- Lint collects around the outside hood or behind the dryer
- The flap on the outside hood stays shut while the dryer runs
- You can see a crushed, kinked or torn hose behind the machine
- The vent is white vinyl or thin foil accordion hose
If you checked even one, a dryer vent replacement or repair is likely the fix. Cleaning alone won't open a vent that is crushed, disconnected or routed wrong. If the vent is in good shape and only clogged, you need dryer vent cleaning instead, and we will tell you so.
Dryer Vent Repairs and Installs We Handle
Crushed or Disconnected Vents
Pushing the dryer back against the wall is the number one way vents get crushed. A crushed dryer vent chokes airflow and traps lint. In crawl spaces and attics, joints pull apart over time and dump hot, wet air and lint under or over your house. We replace the damaged section, seal every joint with foil tape (no screws poking into the airflow to catch lint), and strap the run so it stays put.
Foil and Vinyl Hose Replacement
Thin foil and white vinyl hose crush easily and their ridges grab lint. We replace them with smooth metal duct for the run inside the wall, and a short, sturdy transition connector behind the dryer that holds its shape when the machine moves.
Dryer Vent Rerouting
Some vents were built to fail: long runs up to the roof, too many elbows, or a path through the attic that drops and traps water. Dryer vent rerouting gives the air a shorter, straighter path out. This is common in Gwinnett and Forsyth homes where laundry rooms sit in the middle of the house and the vent runs through the attic or crawl space.
New Dryer Vent Hood
The outside cap matters. A broken flap lets in rain, cold air, birds and rodents. A flap that sticks shut blocks the whole system. We install a new dryer vent hood that opens freely, seals when the dryer stops, and keeps nests out.
New Dryer Vent Installation
Moving the laundry room, finishing a basement or buying a new dryer that sits in a different spot? We do full dryer vent installation from the dryer to the outside wall or roof, planned for the shortest path your home allows. A new dryer vent installation is also the time to fix an old run that never worked well.
Repair, Replace or Reroute: What Your Vent Needs
| What we find | What we do | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed hose behind the dryer | Replace with a sturdy connector | Full airflow, faster drying |
| Loose joints in crawl space or attic | Reconnect, seal and strap | No lint or moisture under the house |
| Foil or vinyl duct in the run | Replace with smooth metal duct | Less lint buildup, lower fire risk |
| Long run with many turns | Reroute on a shorter path | Dryer stops overheating |
| Broken or stuck outside flap | Install a new vent hood | No pests, no blocked exhaust |
Not sure which one you need? That is what the free inspection is for. We check the full line from the dryer to the outside hood and tell you what is there before you pay for anything.
How Our Dryer Vent Installation and Repair Works
- Inspect. We pull the dryer out, check the connector, and inspect the vent run and outside hood to find crushed spots, loose joints and clogs.
- Quote. You get a flat rate for the fix before we start. No hidden fees.
- Repair or install. We replace, reconnect, reroute or install new duct and a new hood as needed.
- Clean the full line. Any lint left in the run gets cleared so the new vent starts clean.
- Test. We run the dryer and check that air moves strong at the outside hood and the flap opens fully.
- Show you. We walk you through the repair and show you photos of the new vent so you can see the difference.

Dryer Vent Repair & Installation Questions
How much does it cost to install a new dryer vent?
We give you a free estimate and a flat rate up front, no hidden fees. The job depends on the length of the run, where it goes (wall, attic or roof) and how many turns it needs, and you know the full scope before any work starts, so there are no surprises. Call (678) 609-8713 for a free estimate anywhere in Gwinnett, Forsyth or North Fulton.
Can I install a dryer vent myself?
You can swap a short connector hose behind the dryer yourself. The vent inside the wall, attic or crawl space is harder. Joints need sealing without screws that catch lint, the run needs the shortest path possible, and the outside hood has to open freely. Mistakes there hide in the wall and build lint for years. If your vent runs through the attic or crawl space, a pro install saves you redoing it.
What is the best duct to use for a dryer vent?
Smooth metal duct is the best choice for the run inside walls, attics and crawl spaces. It does not crush easily and lint has nothing to grab. Behind the dryer, use a short, sturdy metal transition connector that holds its shape. Avoid white vinyl and thin foil accordion hose. They crush when the dryer is pushed back, trap lint in their ridges and are the vents we replace most often.
How do I know if my dryer vent is crushed?
Pull the dryer out and look at the hose behind it. If it is flattened, kinked or torn, it is crushed. Other signs are clothes that take two or more cycles to dry, a hot laundry room, and an outside flap that barely opens while the dryer runs. Hidden damage in the attic or crawl space shows up when we inspect the full run, which is free with any service.
How long does dryer vent repair take?
Most dryer vent repairs, like replacing a crushed connector or a broken vent hood, are done in one visit. Rerouting a vent or installing a new run through the attic or crawl space takes longer, and we tell you the time before we start. Same-day service is available across Suwanee and Gwinnett, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Do you clean the dryer vent when you repair it?
Yes. A new section of vent on top of a lint-packed line does not fix the problem, so we clear the full run as part of the job. If the vent turns out to be in good shape and only clogged, we will tell you that you need dryer vent cleaning, not a repair. You can also add a dryer vent cleaning to any air duct cleaning for $99.
What are the different types of dryer vents?
The main types are smooth metal duct, thin foil or white vinyl accordion hose, and the short transition connector that links the dryer to the wall. Smooth metal duct is the best choice for the run inside walls, attics and crawl spaces because it holds its shape and lint has nothing to grab. Foil and vinyl hose crush easily and their ridges trap lint, so those are the vents we replace most often. At the outside wall or roof, the vent hood has a flap that should open freely and seal when the dryer stops.
What are the consequences of not properly venting a dryer?
A dryer that is not vented properly runs longer and hotter, leaves clothes damp and lets lint build up where it can catch fire. When a hose is crushed or a joint pulls loose in the crawl space or attic, hot, wet air and lint get dumped under or over your house instead of outside. Heat builds up, towels need two or three cycles, and the laundry room gets hot and sticky. Fixing the vent with a short, sealed, smooth path to the outside lets the dryer breathe again.
How do you clean a long dryer vent?
A long dryer vent has to be cleaned end to end with equipment that reaches the full run and gets around the bends, which home brushes usually cannot do. Long runs up to the roof or through the attic or crawl space trap lint fastest, so they need cleaning sooner than short ones. If a run is too long or has too many turns, cleaning only buys time. Dryer vent rerouting gives the air a shorter, straighter path out, and we clean the full line as part of every repair.
Who do you call to clean a dryer vent?
Call a dryer vent company that can clean the full line and fix it if something is wrong, so you do not need a second company. Fresh Cleaning Solutions cleans, repairs and installs dryer vents across Gwinnett, Forsyth and North Fulton. A clog is often a sign of a bigger problem, like a crushed hose behind the dryer, a loose joint in the crawl space or a run that is too long, and we handle all of it ourselves. We are open 24/7, with same-day service and a free estimate.
