The hood flap barely lifts
Step outside with a load running. On a clear line the flap stands open on a steady stream of warm air. If it hardly moves, the line is packed, or snow, leaves or a nest is blocking the outlet.

What’s different in Remington
Low hoods, deep snow and river damp: where Remington dryer vent lines end.
Utility gas is close to absent around Remington, about one owner home in a hundred, so the dryer is usually electric. Where a gas dryer does turn up it usually burns propane, the fuel for about one owner home in nine, often from the same yard tank as the furnace. Electric or propane, a choked dryer vent line shows up as damp loads and a humid laundry room.
Downtown, many houses are older than the clothes dryer itself. Fauquier County’s plan counts 75 buildings in town worthy of the historic registers, and about 590 homes in the ZIP were built before 1960. In houses like those the laundry was fitted in later, in a basement, a back porch or an addition, and the dryer vent line leaves through a foundation wall or low on a side wall wherever a hole could be cut. A hood that close to the ground collects leaves, grass clippings and, after a wet spell, mud on its flap.
Winter is when a low hood gets buried. The January 2016 blizzard put 20.5 inches on the NOAA station north-northeast of town in one observation and left 25 inches on the ground three days later, and spotters across southern Fauquier reported 18 to 30. Run a dryer with its hood under a drift and the hot, wet air has no way out but back along the line. After a big snow, dig the hood clear before the next load.
Wind finds the hoods too. Thunderstorm winds estimated at 76 miles an hour damaged homes off Justin Court in June 2012, and an April 2017 storm tore part of a roof off on East Main Street. Gusts like that crack plastic hoods and bend flaps so they hang open, which invites birds. And where a dryer vent line crosses a crawl space, the water-holding lakebed ground the County describes keeps the air down there damp; the dryer’s moisture condenses in the cold run, and the lint turns wet and sticks.

The Fauquier County side
ZIP 22734 as a whole, the Town included: its own homes are too few for steady Census figures. About one home in fourteen in this ZIP is in Culpeper County.

- Built since 2000about 2 in 10 Census

- Rentedabout 4 in 10 Census
- In a single-family house the dryer vent run is often short, and the hose behind the dryer is where the trouble usually is.
When it’s due
When a dryer vent needs cleaning in Remington.
Towels take two cycles
The first thing most people notice. When the dryer vent is packed, the damp air has nowhere to go, so the clothes stay wet and the dryer runs hot.
It’s been a year
Fire departments around Northern Virginia say once a year, and sooner if clothes start taking longer to dry. If you can’t remember the last dryer vent cleaning, it’s due.

Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
Will they check where the line leaves the house?
In an older Remington house the dryer vent line may exit through a stone or block foundation, low on the wall, and that end is where the trouble collects. Ask whether the price covers the hood and the run behind it, not just the hose behind the dryer.
Do they clean the whole line, end to end?
Brushing the first few feet from the laundry room isn’t a dryer vent cleaning. Ask whether they clean from the back of the dryer to the hood outside, and how they get the lint out of the house instead of pushing it further down.
Do they show you what’s inside the line?
Camera photos of the inside of your dryer vent line are how you know it needed cleaning, and before and after photos are how you know the job was done. Ask to see them, and for a dated invoice if your HOA wants proof.
