Wake Forest context
Different homes create different vent problems
Wake Forest has older homes, newer subdivisions, townhomes, larger Heritage-area layouts, and properties near wooded or lake areas. Long runs, roof exits, tight laundry spaces, and hard-to-see exterior caps can change what a simple airflow problem actually looks like.
Longer runsMore distance and bends can make restrictions harder to spot.
Roof or elevated exitsExterior caps may be difficult to inspect from the ground.
Remodeled or tight spacesConnections can be crushed, loose, or routed awkwardly behind the dryer.
