Dryer Vent Repair in Tampa Bay

The most frequent repairs we perform in Tampa Bay homes are: replacing flexible foil ducting with rigid metal, fixing crushed sections behind the dryer, sealing disconnected joints inside walls, replacing damaged exterior vent hoods, and removing screws that pierce the ducting.

Yes. Flexible foil and plastic ducting is no longer code-compliant in most jurisdictions because it traps lint in its ridges, can collapse and restrict airflow, and is more flammable than rigid metal alternatives.

Yes. Damaged vents — especially crushed sections, disconnected joints, or pierced ducts — trap lint and restrict airflow. This causes heat to build up in the dryer, creating fire risk even if the lint trap is regularly cleaned.

Wall ductwork repair runs $195–$595 depending on scope — replacing a section of flex hose at the dryer connection sits at the low end, while full in-wall ducting replacement through multiple bays sits at the high end. We provide a clear quote with photos before starting any work.
