Question
Don't know if you can help.  My dryer vent runs into the wall and up and out the roof.  Apparently there is blockage and I don't know how to clean it out all the way up.  The heat and lint backs up into the laundry room.  Any suggestion would be great.  Thank you.

Answer
Wow, thats a long run for a dryer vent.
You need to stop using it before it gets worse (fire hazard) See if you can make a shorter run...say, through the wall instead of up and out the roof.

Good luck, Dave

Chuck, how was I to know there was no exterior walls in the bath?? you asked my advise, and got it. without more detailed information its hard to answer sometimes.
hope you got the vent cleaned, thanks for the review...
