A recessed dryer box lets your dryer sit flush against the wall without crushing the vent — protecting airflow and giving your laundry space back.
In a lot of laundry closets, the dryer simply can't sit far enough from the wall to avoid crushing the vent connection — until it's recessed into one.
A dryer box is a metal receptacle installed inside the wall that houses the vent connection, and often the electrical or gas hookups too, recessed a few inches back from the wall surface. Instead of the flexible transition hose getting pinned and crushed every time the dryer gets pushed back into place, the connection sits safely inside the box — out of the way, protected, and never squeezed flat.
It's a small, one-time installation that solves a problem you'd otherwise be fighting every time you move the dryer for cleaning or a load that fell behind it. Common in laundry closets, tight utility rooms, and any renovation where floor space is tight.

One installation, and the crushed-vent cycle stops for good.
A durable metal enclosure set into the wall, keeping the vent connection protected and out of the way.
The dryer can sit flush against the wall, freeing up several inches of usable room space.
No more flattened transition hose choking off airflow every time the dryer gets pushed back.
We coordinate box placement with existing outlets and gas lines for a clean, code-aware install.
A crushed transition hose is a common source of lint buildup right where it's hardest to see.

EXCELLENT Based on 484 reviews Posted on Lauren LindseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best customer service I have ever experienced! We called seeking some help after a trash bag was sucked into our air duct while we were changing the air filter. It's August and in Oklahoma and we were worried it would harm our air conditioner in the heat. I called Twist and Turn, told them the whole (rather embarrassing and funny) story and David immediately recognized that time was of the essence and agreed to come help. Within a few minutes he was here, and the trash bag was quickly removed! Saved our air conditioner and what would have been a very expensive repair. When I asked what we could pay, they said they were happy to help, it was near where they were working already and only took a few minutes. I feel so blessed by the friendly and quick service over the phone from Amy and from David. If you are looking for good, neighborly, and honestly just the best people, give them a call. I had been meaning to schedule my dryer vent cleaning so I got that done too with Amy's help. Wish I could give them 10 stars!!

Thank you Lauren! So glad we could get the problem fixed quickly for you guys!Posted on Spike SpeedwellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have lived in the house for over ten years. The dryer vent which is routed through the slab had never been cleaned. Professional and friendly service. The gentleman that cleaned our vent was one hard working dude. First a measurement of air flow is taken for a base line comparison. Then clean, clean then clean again until nothing was picked up in the vacuum. Then a final check to ensure improved air flow. Result, a dryer vent cleaner than a colonoscopy prep. In addition to the vent duct, a thorough internal cleaning of the dryer, and a new improved flexible vent hose between the dryer and the vent connection was installed. My wife saw the difference in the dryer’s efficiency on the first load. Great company to use. Clean your dryer vent regularly for safety and efficiency. I wonder if Heidi Hooper (the artist) collects lint from this company? (Google Her)

Thank you for leaving us a review! I suppose it is kind of a lint colonoscopy in a way. That made us smile. Glad to hear the dryer is performing better!Posted on Cayla ButlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast, friendly service

Thank you!Posted on Susan KirkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They are just fabulous. I rarely have such a professional and very friendly service person in my home. Jeremiah very efficiently cleaned out the dryer vent, including getting on the roof. And he left my laundry room looking better than he found it. Plus, since dryer vent cleaning is all they do, there was no high pressure sales job to get me to purchase other, more expensive, services. I would highly recommend.

Thank you Joe for taking the time to leave us a review!Posted on Ellen EatonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeremy and Tyson fixed a fire hazard by venting my dryer through the roof instead of the attic. While doing this, they found leaks in the attic from other roof vents and performed a water test to locate them. They made temporary repairs before an expected storm and provided a detailed report for the roofer to fix the leaks precisely.

Thank you!Posted on Ty ReinertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeremiah and Mitchell came to my house to clean my Dryer Vent tube. They did an excellent job! Very knowledgeable and professional. I had it cleaned about 1 1/2 years ago, but there was a lot of new, and old, dryer lint and even the remnants an old bird’s nest that had been pushed down the 22-ft long tube. Highly recommend Twist and Turn Dryer Vent Cleaning.

It depends on wall framing and whether electrical or gas coordination is needed. Call (918) 605-8953 for a flat quote after a quick assessment.
In most cases, yes — if a crushed transition hose from the dryer sitting too close to the wall is the root cause, a dryer box removes that problem permanently rather than repairing the same damage again later.
Yes, this is one of the most common times to add one — while the wall is already open, it's the easiest and cleanest point to install.
Not always. If your duct run itself is fine and the issue is just clearance behind the dryer, a dryer box alone solves it. If the run is also long or poorly routed, we may recommend pairing it with a reroute.
A one-time installation gives your dryer room to sit flush and your vent room to breathe. Schedule your dryer box installation today.
