Q: Where is the backdraft damper located?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll find the backdraft damper near the top of the range hood (where it connects to the ductwork). However, some range hoods also have a second damper, which is located close to the roof or exterior wall where the ductwork ends. If you don&rsquo;t see a damper in either of these places, you might not have one.</p></div>

Q: Can you put boric acid in vents?

• <div><p>You should not put <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/boric-acid-safe-use-pest-control.htm">boric acid</a> into your home&rsquo;s air vents. While sprinkling boric acid in roach-prone areas is an effective way to get rid of them, it&rsquo;s not safe to introduce those chemicals into your home&rsquo;s air system. Instead, put boric acid or diatomaceous earth in a spot that roaches may walk through, infesting them and the rest of the infestation.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean a dryer?

• <div><p>The frequency of cleaning your dryer depends on how often you use it. For regular households, it is recommended to clean the lint trap after each load of laundry. Additionally, thorough cleaning of the dryer&mdash;lint trap, drum, and exterior&mdash;should be done every few months. It's important to pay attention to the vent system as well. Ideally, it should be cleaned at least once a year, or six months if your dryer takes care of huge loads often, or more frequently if you notice reduced drying efficiency.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of too much humidity in a room?

• <div><p>Excessive humidity in a room often manifests through visible signs like condensation on windows or walls, a musty or damp odor lingering in the air, peeling wallpaper or paint, and the presence of mold or mildew. Experiencing discomfort due to a consistently clammy or sticky feeling can also indicate high humidity levels.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean my dryer vent myself?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to clean your dryer vent yourself in most cases, but it&rsquo;s usually best to leave this important task to a professional. If you make a mistake when reinstalling the vent, you could kink it, which makes it easier for a blockage to form. Instead, call in a professional annually to do a thorough cleaning and an inspection. They will make sure there are no kinks in the vent that could promote blockages in addition to cleaning it. If your vent runs through a wall, you&rsquo;ll need help from a professional regardless.</p></div>
