Whoever installed the vents on our roof turned the one over the laundry room the wrong way (or something like that). In heavy rain, water was pouring down the dryer vent tube. When the dryer quit drying clothes, we called Beck's appliance repair, and the late Mr. Beck came out, disconnected the vent tube, and where it formed a "U," it was full of water.
The house was out of warranty, but we called Warranty anyway. The roofer and plumber kept kicking it one back to the other, but warranty kept on it, and finally one of them caved and came out and fixed it.


The bad news is it took a year and a half for one of them to quit arguing and fix it. Part of that was the two contractors stalling and our forgetting to hound, etc. But Warranty did keep on it whenever we called.
