Co-op apartments here often rely on shared laundry rooms, while the houses have their own dryers in a basement or garage. Those house dryers usually have a short vent to the side yard, which makes them among the simpler ones in the city to keep clear. ## What Forest Hills does to a dryer. About 25 empty lots in Forest Hills Gardens were built on after World War II, and the Gardens were fully developed by the 1960s. Elsewhere in Forest Hills vacant lots remained into the mid-1990s, even as some single-family houses were razed for apartment buildings. The Cord Meyer section on the north side and the Van Court community are areas of detached single-family homes. Attached townhouses stand near the Westside Tennis Center, and detached frame houses near Metropolitan Avenue.

Checking supply and exhaust is part of every repair in these houses. ### Family houses Many family homes keep the laundry in a garage, basement or mudroom, with the dryer vent running through a wall or up into the attic. Children's clothes, pet hair and full loads fill that vent more quickly than a small household would. ### Small homes In a cramped laundry closet the duct behind the dryer is often crushed when the machine is pushed back, and a flattened duct can stretch drying times badly without any part failing. Rigid or semi-rigid duct with a slim periscope connection solves it in most spaces. ## A visit in Forest Hills. Four steps from the call to a working dryer in Forest Hills, Queens.
