Hello! This is Dustin with Home Mender
and today we are going to be replacing an exterior exhaust vent for a dryer or
an exhaust fan and we're going to install a new louver kit with a bird
guard. Keep those birds out. Keep the rats out, too. I'm gonna show you how. Let's get to it. First we're gonna want to cut the caulk line at the J channel to free up
this piece .This is coming out but the duct is staying in. Careful not to damage
it. After we get the caulk line cut, go ahead and pull off this old, brittle vent
and pull the nails that are holding it. Once that's removed go ahead and clear
up any caulk that's left over and we take our new louvered vent. Little flap
fits inside your duct. You can pick up the louvers and kind of see where you're
going with it. Secure it with some exterior screws. Now seal around it with
some exterior sealant. Now remove the louvers and you can tape
the duct. Sticky back tape to seal to the duct. Make sure you get enough tape on there
to seal it up. After it's all sealed up you can reinstall the louvers. Bird guard
clips on and voila. So that's it, super easy. We
just installed a bird guard and an exhaust. You did it! You're awesome!
That'll keep out those pests. So for Home Mender Inc, this is Dustin. I hope you
