New furnace last year but the house was still uneven. Turned out the original ducting was never resized for it. They showed me the airflow numbers room by room and fixed it properly.

Dryer Vent Cleaning for Arden-Arcade homes
Arden-Arcade holds some of the region's most individual mid-century housing, and that individuality is exactly what makes the duct work here interesting. Arden Park, Sierra Oaks and Arden Oaks contain a great many custom and semi-custom homes from the fifties and sixties, frequently single-story with low rooflines, wide floor plans and the long horizontal duct runs that come with both. Low-pitch roofs mean cramped attic space, so the ducting was often routed wherever it would physically fit rather than where it should have gone, and in some of these houses portions of the system run under the slab. Del Paso Manor and the surrounding streets are more conventional tract housing of the same era. Across the whole area the systems have usually been replaced at least once while the ductwork around them never was.
Low-pitch mid-century rooflines leave very restricted attic space, so runs were routed for fit rather than performance and are frequently crushed or sharply turned. It is common here to find modern replacement equipment connected to original ducting that was never resized to suit it.

Process
How the visit works
Inspect the run
We locate the routing, measure the length, count the elbows and check the exterior termination before starting.
Pull the dryer and disconnect
The dryer is moved out and disconnected so the run can be worked from the correct end.
Rotary brush the full length
A powered brush is fed the entire distance while the vacuum runs, breaking loose packed lint rather than compacting it.
Clear the exterior hood
The termination is cleared, and a flap that no longer seals or opens is flagged or replaced.
Clean behind and under the dryer
The lint that has collected behind the machine and around the trap housing is removed while access is open.
Reconnect and airflow test
The dryer is reconnected, the joint is sealed properly and airflow at the hood is measured and reported.

Questions
FAQs
We replaced the furnace but the house is still uneven. Why?
That is the standard Arden-Arcade pattern: new equipment connected to original ductwork that was never resized for it. The comfort problem lives in the distribution, not the box, and it shows up clearly once we measure airflow room by room.
Some of our ducts seem to run under the floor. Do you handle that?
Yes. Under-slab and low-attic routing both appear in this area. They need assessing before quoting because access drives the work, so we inspect and photograph first.
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year for a typical household. Every six months if you have a large family, dry a lot of pet bedding, or have a long upstairs run with multiple elbows.
My laundry is upstairs — is that a problem?
It is the configuration most likely to need regular attention. A vertical run with elbows collects lint faster than a short horizontal one, and it is also the hardest to reach without the right equipment.
