Re: Could not locate dryer vent termination
Matt,
Which Houston community was your inspection? One or two story home? Odds are it took a dive into the wall and up through ceiling/attic and out the roof. At least one 90-degree turn and possibly two.
As noted earlier ... Max run on a dryer vent pipe is 25'. Each 90-degree turn costs 5-feet and each 45-degree turn costs 2.5-feet in distance calculations.
Now ... a booster fan can be installed, but if they are they should be accessible for service/maintenance, etc.
I've seen many in custom homes that were "not" service accessible ... I was fortunate to be doing the framing inspections and "caught 'em". Otherwise you may not readily see or run across unless you start digging and calculating "assumed" routes of the pipe.
