What Hillsborough County does
to a dryer.

Where dryers sit in Hillsborough County: older housing stock, designed laundry rooms, family houses.

All of Tampa Bay

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.

Designed laundry rooms

Homes with specified kitchens usually have laundry rooms planned the same way, with the dryer raised on a pedestal or set into a cabinet run, sometimes behind a door that matches the millwork. That tidy installation leaves little room to pull the machine out for service.

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.
