Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on usage and your specific setup. If you’re doing multiple loads weekly, have a large family, or notice clothes taking longer to dry, annual cleaning makes sense. Homes with longer vent runs or multiple bends need more frequent attention because lint accumulates faster in these areas. The key warning signs are longer drying times, excessive heat, or lint visible around the outside vent.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely. You might also notice your dryer getting extremely hot, a burning smell, or lint accumulating around the outside vent opening. Higher than normal energy bills can indicate your dryer is working harder due to restricted airflow. If your laundry room feels unusually hot and humid during operation, that’s another clear indicator that air isn’t flowing properly through your vent system.
Yes, clogged dryer vents cause thousands of house fires annually. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it builds up in your vent system, it creates the perfect conditions for ignition. The combination of heat, restricted airflow, and accumulated lint can cause your dryer to overheat and ignite the buildup. This isn’t just a theoretical risk – it’s a documented cause of residential fires that could easily be prevented with regular professional cleaning.
Most dryer vent cleaning appointments take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. Longer runs or multiple bends take additional time to clean thoroughly. We don’t rush the process because incomplete cleaning defeats the purpose. You’ll be able to use your dryer immediately after we finish, and you should notice improved performance right away with faster drying times and better airflow.
Our service focuses on the dryer vent system – the ductwork that carries air from your dryer to the outside of your home. This includes the connection at your dryer, the entire vent line, and the exterior termination point. We don’t disassemble your dryer unit itself, but we do clean the lint trap area and the connection point where your dryer meets the vent system. This comprehensive approach addresses the areas where dangerous lint buildup typically occurs.
Professional cleaning reaches the entire vent system with specialized equipment designed for thorough lint removal. DIY methods typically only address the first few feet of ductwork and miss the majority of buildup that occurs throughout the system. We have the tools to clean long runs, navigate bends, and remove compacted lint that household brushes can’t reach. Professional service also includes system inspection to identify potential problems like damaged ductwork or improper installation that could affect safety and performance.
