Dryer Vent Inspection on Long Island & NYC

Identify Fire Risk Before It Becomes a Loss

A dryer duct inspection is a documented check of the full dryer exhaust run, from the transition hose behind the appliance through the in-wall duct and any booster fan to the exterior termination, for lint loading, blockages, disconnected joints, and improper venting. SaniTech Services inspects dryer vents in multi-unit buildings, laundromats, and homes across Long Island and New York City and reports whether cleaning or repair is needed.

Clogged or damaged dryer ducts are a leading cause of preventable building fires. SaniTech Services inspects dryer duct systems to identify lint buildup, blockages, and improper venting — ensuring your facility meets safety codes and your equipment runs safely and efficiently.

What We Check

Every inspection covers the full exhaust path:

  • Transition duct behind the dryer for crushing, foil-flex material, or excessive length.
  • In-wall, ceiling, or chase duct for lint loading, disconnected joints, and screws or sags that trap lint.
  • Booster fans, if present, for lint fouling and operation.
  • Exterior termination for a working damper, screens that trap lint, and bird or pest nesting.
  • Airflow at the termination as an indicator of restriction.

When an Inspection Leads to a Cleaning

If lint loading, restricted airflow, or a blockage is found, we provide a written scope and quote for cleaning. If the run is clear, you receive a documented report with the condition, any repair recommendations, and the next recommended inspection date.
