Replacing the flexible hose behind the dryer
Is the hose the problem, or the duct inside the wall? Worth knowing before anyone sells you a hose. Pull the dryer out and look. White vinyl or thin foil means it gets replaced regardless. Those hold lint in every ridge. Code allows only a UL-listed transition duct, capped at eight feet, left visible. No part of it may be buried in the wall.
In Studio City the failure point is usually the crush. Stacked washer/dryer closets off a hallway leave inches of clearance. The hose kinks behind the dryer in tight closets, flattens, and backpressure climbs. A rigid aluminum periscope box fixes that where the wall outlet sits low or offset. Semi-rigid elbows beat foil on the garage-wall runs where laundry was moved out of the house.
We clamp, never screw. Screws catch lint and build a plug at the joint. Foil tape at the seams, no duct tape, since the adhesive bakes off.
If airflow is still weak after a new hose, the restriction is further out. That points to lint packed at elbows or a low-slung wall cap. Nesting in a broken louver is another cause. On long soffit and attic runs with several elbows, the hose is rarely the whole story.

What Happens After You Call Us
Call and tell us where the dryer sits and where the vent exits, roof, wall, or soffit. We book a two hour arrival window and text you when the van leaves for your address.
We look at the full run, check the airflow at the hood, and give you a firm price before any tool comes off the truck. The estimate is free, and the number moves only on visible issues.
We pull the lint, reattach the hose with a metal clamp, run the dryer to confirm the flap opens, and vacuum what fell. You pay the quoted price, not a dollar more.
