My friend in Vaughan lives in a condo, and their dryer vent setup looks nothing like mine in a detached house. Mine exits outside nearby, while theirs runs through a longer shared space. Do homes and condos need different dryer vent cleaning methods because the duct layouts are not the same?

Homes and condos can definitely need different approaches. A short, straight vent is not the same as a longer duct with turns or shared building access. The important thing is that the technician understands the layout before cleaning, instead of treating every dryer vent the same.

Different layouts can change the whole job. In a house, the vent may be short and easy to reach, but in a condo it can run through walls, ceilings, or shared building areas. I noticed this after comparing my place with my sister’s unit in Vaughan. Her dryer took longer, but there was no simple outside flap to check. To understand what local technicians usually look for, I checked https://dryerventcleaningtoday.ca/dryer-vent-cleaning-in-vaughan/ before she booked anything. It made the difference between house and condo vents easier to understand. The cleaning itself depends on access, duct length, turns, and where lint collects. So yes, I would expect the method to change by property type.
