What Southampton does
to a dryer.

At the 2000 census the village counted 2,936 housing units, about 464 per square mile.

Many of the village's grandest properties are in the Estate Section, particularly within the Wickapogue Road Historic District.

Gas service on the South Fork is part of National Grid's Long Island territory, the old KeySpan system.

Seasonal houses

A dryer in a seasonal house can sit untouched for months, and in that time birds, insects or rodents may move into the vent, drawn by warm lint. The first load of the season is when a blocked duct or a nest reveals itself.

On the water

Salt air works on exterior vent hoods, dampers and the screws that hold them, and a flap that corrodes open lets humid air, insects and rodents into the duct. A hood built for coastal exposure, checked each season, keeps the run closed while the dryer is off.

Pool and beach towels

Homes built around outdoor living send a steady stream of pool and beach towels through the dryer. Those loads are heavy and gritty, and sand or grass that slips past the lint screen ends up in the drum seals and the vent.
