Home / Service areas / Princeton
Princeton is two towns in one. About two-thirds of its housing was built in 2010 or later, more than a quarter of it since 2020. Around that sits an older core: about one house in eight predates 1990.
The ducts are new. The only thing likely to be wrong is construction debris left in the runs, and the builder's warranty is the first place to take that. Start with the new-build and remodel dust page.
Census survey figures put about 1,050 of Princeton's 8,130 housing units in that group, some going back to the 1950s. Systems in those houses have had time to be replaced, extended and patched. Start with ductwork in older homes, or with the flex duct page if the house is from the 1970s or 1980s.
About 76% of Princeton homes are owner-occupied, which leaves roughly one in four rented. With that many rented homes, the person who notices a problem is often not the person who can approve the fix.
A tenant is usually the first to notice that the dryer has slowed down or that dust is blowing from a vent. The owner is the one who can approve work on the building. If you rent, report it to the landlord in writing and mention that a blocked dryer vent is a fire risk, not only an inconvenience. If you own a rental, a dryer vent cleaning between tenants is a small cost against that risk.
Speak to the landlord or property manager first. The vent is part of the building, and they normally have to approve the work and may want to arrange it themselves.
It needs an inspection first. In a house from before 1990 the ducts may be original or may have been altered more than once, and that decides what can be cleaned safely.
Say whether the house is new or older, and whether you own it.
