Real reviews from real customers across the Tampa Bay area.
"Our dryer was taking three cycles to dry one load. After Dry Vent Tampa cleaned the vent, everything dried in one cycle. The technician was on time, professional, and showed me before and after photos. Massive difference."
"I had no idea how much lint was packed in our vent. It was honestly scary. They cleared everything out, showed me photos, and now I feel safe running the dryer again. Booking annual service from now on."
"We manage 120 units and use Dry Vent Tampa for all of them. They are reliable, fairly priced, and their team is always professional. Best vendor we work with by a wide margin."
New Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
Current code requires rigid metal ducting (typically galvanized steel or aluminum) for the entire vent run. Flexible foil and plastic ducting is no longer permitted for permanent installations.
Most dryer manufacturers and the International Residential Code limit total vent length to 35 feet, with deductions for each 90-degree bend (typically 5 feet per elbow). Longer runs may require a booster fan.
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction. In most Tampa Bay areas, simple replacements don't require permits, but new installations or relocations involving exterior wall penetrations may. We handle permit research as part of our installation service.
The exterior termination must be at least 3 feet from any window, door, or air intake. It must include a backdraft damper and pest screen, and discharge directly outside — never into an attic, crawl space, or garage.
