Professional Dryer Vent Repair & Installation

Upgrade to Safe Metal Piping. Prevent Leaks. Meet Code.

Safety Upgrades

Is Your Dryer Vent Hose a Fire Trap?

Many homes still use white plastic vinyl or foil "accordion" hoses to connect their dryer to the wall. These materials are a major fire hazard because they are flammable, easily crushed, and trap huge amounts of lint in their ridges.

Rivo Clean specializes in upgrading dangerous dryer vent systems to meet current safety codes. We serve homeowners within a 60-mile radius, replacing unsafe flexible hoses with smooth, rigid galvanized steel piping. This not only significantly reduces the risk of fire but also improves airflow, allowing your clothes to dry faster.

Whether your vent has disconnected inside the wall, crushed behind the machine, or the exterior cover is damaged, our expert technicians can fix it permanently.

Common Issues We Fix

Don't let a small repair turn into a major disaster.

Unsafe Materials

Plastic and foil hoses are prohibited by most building codes. We replace them with 4-inch rigid metal ducting that contains fires.

Disconnects

Vents often disconnect inside walls or attics, pumping hot, humid, lint-filled air into your home structure, causing mold and rot.

Exterior Damage

Damaged or missing exterior vent hoods allow birds, mice, and cold air to enter your home. We install durable, pest-proof covers.

Our Repair & Installation Process

We build systems that last. No shortcuts.

Custom Sizing

We measure and cut rigid metal piping to the exact length needed for your laundry room setup. Short, straight runs are best for efficiency.

Proper Sealing

We use high-temperature foil tape for all joints. We NEVER use screws, as they protrude into the pipe and catch lint, creating clogs.

Exterior Protection

We seal the exterior penetration with silicone caulk to prevent water intrusion and install a hood that opens only when the dryer is running.

Why Upgrade to Rigid Metal?

Sealing exterior vent cover
  • Fire Containment: Metal piping can contain a dryer fire, preventing it from spreading to the walls.
  • Smooth Airflow: The smooth interior surface allows air and lint to flow freely, reducing clogging.
  • Crush Resistant: Unlike foil or plastic, rigid metal won't crush when you push the dryer back into place.
  • Longevity: A properly installed metal system will last for the life of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost depends on the length of the run and difficulty of access (e.g., crawlspace vs. attic vs. roof). We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes after a quick inspection.
Building codes prohibit using screws to join dryer vent sections because the sharp points protrude inside the pipe. These points catch lint, leading to rapid clogging. We use high-quality foil tape instead.
Yes, we can install or repair roof-terminated vents. We ensure specialized roof jacks are used to prevent leaks and backdrafts.
If your dryer vent run exceeds 35 feet, a booster fan may be required to ensure proper airflow. We can calculate the effective length of your run and install a booster fan if necessary.
Yes. Plastic hoses are highly combustible. If a fire starts in your dryer, a plastic hose will melt and allow the fire to spread to the laundry room within seconds. Metal contains it.
