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.

Older housing stock

Protected exteriors and historic district rules can limit where a new dryer vent may exit, which is one reason ventless dryers turn up in older buildings. Where the old vent has to stay, it is cleaned and checked more often, not less.

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.
