If you can get into the attic, pull the pipe loose from the cap and manually remove all the lint from the screen. All the brush does is knock the lint loose so it can finally clog any last opening left in the screen. – Fiasco Labs Aug 9 '15 at 19:49

In my experience, I tool bought one a DIY 8 foot cleaner that is actually fiberglass and comes with 4 two foot sections that attached to a 4 inch brush. The problem here is you MUST only go a few inches at a time an pull back to the point of exiting. If you drive the entire length, you are only packing all the lint to a point that may be open or screen creating a larger issue and potentially larger bill if you need hire a person to locate the exit vent. These condos/townhome structures are a P.I.T.A. and once the duct work is clean, I would advocate cleaning with your home snake/tool periodically to decrease blockage at the exit point. God forbid the home builders place the exit point 8 feet off the ground versus the ceiling.
