Dryer Vent Rerouting
If your dryer vent takes too many turns, vents into the attic or crawlspace, or has been installed with outdated materials, rerouting may be the safest solution. Chattanooga Vent Pros provides professional dryer vent rerouting to improve airflow, prevent moisture damage, and reduce fire risk.
Why Dryer Vent Rerouting Matters
A poorly installed dryer vent system can cause:
Increased fire hazard from lint buildup
Moisture damage, mold, and mildew in walls, attics, or crawlspaces
Long drying times and increased energy use
Code violations when selling a home
Rerouting ensures your system vents safely outdoors using the shortest, most efficient path.
When Should a Dryer Vent Be Rerouted?
You may need rerouting if:
The dryer vent runs more than 35 feet
There are multiple unnecessary bends or turns
The current termination point is in an attic, under the home, or inside a room
You’re remodeling or relocating your laundry room
The system currently uses plastic or foil ducting
Airflow is weak even after cleaning

Anthony showed up at the agreed time with a big smile on his face. There was absolutely no high pressure salesmanship from this guy. He checked our dryer and vents and proclaimed them clean and not needing his services right now. What an honest fella! That doesn’t happen very often. We will schedule another visit with Chattanooga Vent Pros in the future and definitely recommend Anthony Hooper and his company.

Would definitely recommend! They let me know when they were on the way, and kept me informed on what was going on during the entire appointment. Tony was very helpful and professional! He did a great job!
