Edgemont
Foothill homes north of BYU. Big two-story builds, long interior vent runs, steep roof exits.
Edgemont sits in the northern Provo foothills between the BYU campus and the mouth of Rock Canyon. The housing is mostly large two-story custom and semi-custom builds from the late 60s through the 90s. Big square footage, second-floor laundry rooms, and roof exits are the norm.
Standard Edgemont run: twenty to thirty feet through two stories of interior wall to a roof exit on a relatively steep pitch. Reach is the issue here. The lint accumulates at the bend where the vent turns from horizontal to vertical at the second-floor ceiling, and standard short-rod cleaning can't get to it. We bring the long-reach kit and verify before and after. We also replace exterior covers in Edgemont more often than in lowland Provo. Steeper roof pitches catch more weather and plastic covers crack sooner.
