Hashgacha pratis story.
I heard a far relative of mine needed lung transplant because there was a bird nest with birds living many years in their dryer vent.
I told my dh, maybe we have the same thing...lets check it out. My dh responded that: What are the chances that just because you heard a story, that we have same thing. We don't have any extra money for that...
I felt that we might have same thing....hence the suffering of diff ailments in house.
One day, this guy knocks on my door, saying I just cleaned vent by your neighbor, can I do yours too. Since I'm here already, you'll get a better price. Low & behold he blew out a bird nest!

You do realize that's a sales technique? I wouldn't be too sure there was actually a bird's nest .

DH had some sort of screen put over the end so the vent doesn't have to be cleaned again.

I don’t see how. The gas and stuff has to vent outside. How do you prevent it from doing so without having unhealthy fumes and then like?

I don't know. It's probably a special screen. Gas can pass to the outside. Toilets have vents also on the roof. I don't know how they work either. AFAIK they aren't cleaned out annually.
I know is such a thing exists and works. It has been looked at by an engineer.

Great. It's still a classic sales technique. I have gotten a few sales pitches over the years like that.

We were told to take off the screen emergency because it can cause a fire c"v.

It costs $150 on average.
You are supposed to clean it every second year.
Many vents have a flap on the outside of the house to prevent birds from flying in. The flaps blow open when the dryer works.

A screen will end up with lint buildup. That lint is extremely flammable.
Maybe split the cost of that machine to blow the vent between a few neighbors.

Bumping up an old thread where I found a bunch of phone numbers. Do any of these people also do appliance repairs? I'd like to have the dryer looked at, at the same time I schedule a cleaning.
