Airflow Verification & Report in San Marcos, 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 San Marcos (4 ZIP codes, 67k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · San Marcos, TX
Only about a third of San Marcos is detached single-family housing, and that number explains most of what we see here. The rest is student-oriented, from the older complexes at the edge of campus to the purpose-built blocks that have gone up since 2010, and those buildings run on per-bedroom leases. Four unrelated people sharing one machine put it through several loads a day through a nine-month term. A duct in that unit reaches the condition a family's duct reaches over years, and it gets there in one lease cycle. Service intervals written for households do not fit them. The older part of the city, the streets near the square and the neighborhoods just off them, adds a second pattern: single-family houses converted to rentals, with laundry pushed into a closet or a back room and the duct run to suit the space rather than the appliance. Almost everything here is electric, so the failure arrives slowly and quietly instead of announcing itself.

The San Marcos file · what we actually know
San Marcos has about 29,900 housing units: 15% built before 1980, 61% since 2000; 26% heat with gas and 34% are single-family homes. Most homes here are post-2000 builds, so the ductwork is younger but builder-grade, which is why airflow verification & report here starts with an inspection, not a quote.
