Dryer vents in New Castle homes
New Castle is the only New Hampshire town built entirely on islands, and it has kept much of its colonial architecture since it was settled in 1623. Many homes on Great Island are old, close together and close to the water, with Wentworth by the Sea at the island's high point and Fort Constitution at its tip.
Old island houses were never designed for a dryer. When one was added, the vent usually went wherever it fit: through a fieldstone foundation, across a crawl space, or up through a back addition. Those long, improvised runs are exactly where lint collects.
Everything on the island also faces wind and salt spray off the harbor and the open ocean, which is hard on vent hoods and their flaps.

What we see most in New Castle
Added-later vents in colonial homes
Long or awkward runs through old foundations and additions. We brush the full length from both ends and confirm airflow at the hood.
Weather-worn hoods
Exposed hoods near the water wear out faster. A stuck or broken flap blocks the dryer or lets birds in. A new hood is $59–89 installed.
Crawl-space runs
A vent that crosses a damp crawl space can hold moisture and lint. We check how it is connected along the way and tell you what we find.
Second homes
Houses used part of the year attract nesting birds. We clear nests and can add a critter guard.
How a cleaning works
- We confirm by text with a time window, and ask where the outside vent is.
- We measure airflow at the outside hood with the dryer running, and take photos.
- We protect the room with a drop cloth and shoe covers. Electric dryers are pulled out; gas dryers stay put.
- We brush and vacuum the full duct from both ends with a rotary brush and a HEPA vacuum, and clear the hood and flap.
- We measure again and text you the before-and-after numbers and photos. You pay when it is done.
