Palomar Mountain sits at 5,500 feet in the northern county mountains with heavy winter snow (20-50 inches annual), primary wood-burning heat in every cabin, observatory adjacency, dense forest canopy, and the strictest fire-zone code in the region. Heavy Stage 3 creosote buildup, freeze-thaw crown damage, and reline work are constants.. Backcountry homes in Julian, Pine Valley, and Mount Laguna often have long vent runs through unconditioned attics and complex routing.

Once a year for typical households. Twice a year for homes with pets, large families, or vent runs longer than 25 feet. The signs to watch for are dry times creeping up and the dryer running hotter than normal, both mean the vent is restricting airflow.

You can do a partial job from one end with a 10-foot brush. The full vent run is usually 15–30 feet with elbows, and the lint past the first elbow needs rotary brushing with vacuum collection to get clean. We do the full run plus the lint screen frame, which is where most house fires actually start.
