Airflow Verification & Report in Richmond, TX
Airflow is the one number that tells you whether a dryer vent works, and it is the number almost nobody measures. We take it at the termination with an anemometer — once before anything is touched, again after any work — so a change is documented rather than asserted. The reading goes on a written report next to the run's measured developed length and elbow count against the IRC M1502 allowance, so a weak result comes with an explanation instead of a shrug. Homeowners use it to check a cleaning someone else already charged them for; property managers use it as a per-unit pass/fail record. If the reading is healthy, we write that down and there is nothing further to sell you. Serving Richmond (4 ZIP codes, 12k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Richmond, TX
Richmond is two housing stocks with very little in between. Around the courthouse and the older streets off Jackson, better than a quarter of the homes predate 1980, and many have been added onto more than once. When a laundry room lands in an addition, the duct has to cross from the original structure into the newer one, and that crossing at the rim joist or the old exterior wall is where we most often find a joint pulled apart. Another quarter of the city has gone up since 2010, out toward the newer development near the Grand Parkway, where the runs are rigid and long and the terminations are on the roof. There is also a substantial number of manufactured homes here, which vent under their own rules. Most of the city is electric, so the concern is not combustion. It is a duct holding heat a little longer every load, in a climate where the lint inside it is never really dry.

The Richmond file · what we actually know
Richmond has about 4,720 housing units: 28% built before 1980, 41% since 2000; 38% heat with gas and 56% are single-family homes. Homes built before 1980 tend to carry older, leakier ductwork, so airflow verification & report here starts with an inspection, not a quote.
