I would do it myself..as I have done before. Just pull the tube off the back of the dryer,,section by section and vacume/wash them out. They may be held together at the joints with "duct" tape. Just destroy the old tape..vacume out the tube and reassemble the tube sections with new tape. If you live in a Condo/apartment and don't know where the tube goes through the walls..then hire a Pro.

Thank you. Yes-I live in a condo and don't really feel comfortable doing it myself.

Be careful of the distance and angles built in to the vent's installation.

Some original builders had little common sense. If vent is not to outside and goes in to a ceiling or attic space, there is trouble brewing.

Most condo's have a maintenance group. I would ask them before doing anything on my own (trying to find someone to do it) and if they don't someone runs the condo association and they should know who to call to do the work.

Perfect: only work in your spaces. Otherwise communicate with the association manager or officers. Been a condo assoc. volunteer officer!
