Step 1: Dryer Vent Path
Before beginning the installation process for your dryer vent, we first map out the direct route to the outside of the building. Generally, the ductwork should stretch no more than 20 ft to reach the exterior. Furthermore, the level of the ducts should stay fairly horizontal.
Step 2: Vent Hood Opening
After finding the optimal route to the exterior, we then craft the vent hood opening for exhaust. This can be tricky as it requires navigating around plumbing, electrical wiring, and stud work. Leave this to professionals who know what they are doing so you don’t risk any possible electrical fires or lasting damage.
Step 3: Installing the Vent Hood
The next step in the process includes finding the exit hole for the ventilation. The vent hood is drilled to cover the exit hole so that no bugs or animals can infiltrate the opening. The hood is reinforced with wood screws so that it is secure in the case of strong storms
Step 4: Assembling the Vent
Next, sheet metal is cut to assemble the ductwork and connect the dryer and exit vent together. Sheet metal is an extremely sharp material that will cut you if you’re not careful. Leave this process to professionals who have experience and the right resources to handle the material
Step 5: Sealant and Test
Once all is in place, a special sealant is used to reinforce any seams or openings. This part is crucial to maintain the structural integrity of the ductwork. Once sealed, we utilize a test to determine whether there is restricted airflow.
If the airflow is strong, we do a final quality assurance check for all parts of the system. Once passed, your dryer unit and exhaust system is ready to go.
