In short
Dryer vent cleaning for Westchase homes
Westchase is a master-planned community in northwest Hillsborough County, home to 24,818 people. It is the youngest place on our list after Riverview. The median home was built in 2001, and only 2.1% of its 10,386 homes predate 1980.
Young does not mean clean. A dryer vent collects lint from the first load, and a house finished around 2000 may never have had its vent cleaned at all. Call (813) 560-8177 for a free estimate.

Homes in Westchase
What Westchase housing means for vents and ducts
Westchase is laid out in villages such as West Park Village, Radcliffe, Stockbridge and Berkeley Square, with houses and townhomes built mostly between 1990 and 2010. Homes of that era often place the laundry upstairs or in the middle of the house, so the dryer’s air travels through a wall or ceiling to a roof or side-wall outlet, and a long run with bends gathers lint where nobody sees it. Townhomes add shared walls and roofs, so the outside end may sit high up. AC ducts in these homes are often flexible duct in the attic. After twenty-some years, a sagging or kinked run can cut airflow even when it is clean.

Questions
Asked by people in Westchase
Our Westchase house is only about twenty-five years old. Does the vent need cleaning?
Probably. Use matters more than age, and a family that runs the dryer most days fills the vent faster than an old house used lightly. Once a year is the usual guide.
Can you reach a dryer vent that exits on the roof of a two-story home?
Yes, in most cases. We clean from the dryer end and check the outside end, and we talk through access, such as ladders and roof pitch, when we give the estimate.
Do you replace kinked flex duct in the attic?
Yes. When a flexible run is crushed, torn or sagging badly, cleaning will not bring the airflow back. We inspect it, and if a section has failed we replace it with new, properly sealed duct. See duct replacement.
