In Chapel Hill's rental-heavy neighborhoods, the most common finding is a vent that's outlasted several tenants without ever being serviced — lease turnover doesn't reset lint accumulation. By the time a unit changes hands two or three times, the vent can carry years of buildup that no individual tenant ever had reason to notice or report.
The second issue we regularly find in Chapel Hill is aluminum foil flex duct — common in older housing stock near campus — used for the full vent run instead of rigid metal. Its accordion-style interior traps lint far more readily than smooth duct, and careful brush extraction is needed to clear it properly without damaging the material. We explain the condition and options clearly before any work begins.
