What needs a pro
Anything requiring roof access, working chemicals or sealants, disturbing masonry, disassembling the appliance, or interpreting a scan. The insurance and liability exposure on DIY dryer vent cleaning is disproportionate to the cost savings.
The Brock rental market angle
Landlord dryer vent cleaning DIY on rental units in Brock voids most policies and shifts full liability to the owner under RTA §20. Not worth it.
What you can safely DIY
Visual inspection with a flashlight, exterior debris clearing from the cap area (from a stable ladder, not the roof), and photo-documentation of concerns. That's the safe list.

Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
