Dryer vents in Stratham homes
Stratham grew fast in the 1980s. Almost half of the town's homes were built in that decade alone, and the median Stratham home dates to 1986. Most are single-family homes on good-sized lots, and more than nine in ten are owner-occupied.
That timing matters. A house built in the mid-1980s often still has its original dryer vent, nearly 40 years old. Duct materials from that era, especially white vinyl and thin foil connectors, are no longer considered safe because they crush, sag and trap lint.
Many Stratham colonials also put the laundry upstairs or vent the dryer out through the garage wall, both of which make for longer runs than a basement dryer on an outside wall.

What we see most in Stratham
Original 1980s vinyl or foil ducts
If the connector behind your dryer is white plastic or crinkly foil, it should be replaced. Semi-rigid metal is $49 installed.
Second-floor laundry in colonials
Upstairs laundry means a longer run with more elbows. These start at $229 and are brushed end to end.
Vents through the garage
A run that crosses the garage before it reaches outside is longer and colder, so lint and moisture settle in it.
Never cleaned since the house was built
It is common to find a vent that has not been touched in decades. The before-and-after airflow reading shows how much it was holding back.
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.
