Dryer Vent Duct Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire dryer vent system from the dryer connection to the exterior vent. We check for clogs, damage, or improper installation that could cause problems.

Then we use specialized equipment designed specifically for dryer vents. Not carpet cleaning tools or generic brushes – professional-grade equipment that removes every bit of lint and debris from your vent line.

We clean from both ends when necessary, making sure airflow is completely restored. Before we leave, we test your dryer to confirm it’s heating properly and moving air efficiently. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run your next load.

What Your Service Includes

Every dryer vent cleaning includes a complete system inspection, professional cleaning of the entire vent line, and testing to ensure proper airflow and heating. We also check your dryer’s lint filter housing and clean any accumulated debris there.

In Coloma’s older homes, we often find vents that haven’t been cleaned in years, sometimes decades. The lint buildup can be shocking. We’ve pulled out enough lint to fill garbage bags from single homes.

We also inspect for common problems in this area: damaged vent covers from weather, improper vent materials that don’t meet current codes, and connections that have come loose over time. If we find issues, we’ll explain what needs attention and give you options for fixing them safely.

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and how long your vent run is. If you have a large family doing lots of laundry, or if your vent travels a long distance to reach the outside, you might need annual cleaning. Signs you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting very hot, or lint appearing around the outside vent. In Coloma’s older homes, we often find vents that haven’t been cleaned in 5-10 years, which creates serious fire risks. The small investment in annual or biennial cleaning prevents much bigger problems down the road.
We use equipment designed specifically for dryer vents, not generic duct cleaning tools. Our brushes and vacuum systems are sized and powered for the 4-inch round ducts that dryers use, which means we actually remove all the lint instead of just moving it around. Jorge personally trains every technician and often handles jobs himself. We’re not a franchise following a script – we’re local experts who’ve seen every type of dryer vent problem in Sacramento County homes. We take time to explain what we found and why it matters for your safety. Our transparent pricing means you know the cost upfront. No surprises, no pressure to buy additional services you don’t need.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry than they used to. If loads that used to finish in one cycle now need two, or if clothes come out damp or hotter than normal, your vent is probably restricted. You might also notice the dryer itself getting very hot, lint accumulating around the outside vent, or a burning smell when the dryer runs. Some people notice their laundry room feels more humid than usual after running the dryer. In severe cases, the dryer may shut off mid-cycle due to overheating, or you might see actual lint blowing out around the dryer connection. Don’t ignore these warning signs – they indicate a fire hazard that needs immediate attention.
Absolutely. Dryer fires happen every 37 minutes in the United States, and most are caused by lint buildup in the vent system. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it accumulates in a hot vent, it creates perfect conditions for ignition. The fire can start in the vent itself and quickly spread through the ductwork to other parts of your home. Even if the fire starts small, the forced air from the dryer fan can rapidly spread flames and smoke throughout the house. Professional cleaning removes this fire hazard completely. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your home and family from a preventable disaster.
Most residential dryer vent cleaning takes 45 minutes to an hour. The exact time depends on how long your vent run is, how much buildup we find, and whether we need to access the vent from multiple points. We don’t rush the job. Proper cleaning means making sure we’ve removed all the lint and debris, not just what’s easy to reach. We also take time to inspect the entire system and test your dryer’s performance when we’re done. If we discover problems that need repair, like damaged ductwork or improper connections, we’ll discuss options with you. But the basic cleaning service is typically completed in under an hour.
Clean your dryer’s lint filter after every single load – this is the most important thing you can do. A clogged lint filter forces more lint into the vent system and makes your dryer work much harder. Check your outside vent periodically to make sure the flapper opens when the dryer runs and that there’s no lint buildup around the opening. Keep the area around your outside vent clear of plants, leaves, or other debris that could block airflow. Don’t overload your dryer, and avoid using fabric softener sheets excessively as they can leave residue that traps lint. If you notice any of the warning signs we mentioned – longer drying times, excessive heat, or lint around vents – call for professional cleaning right away rather than waiting for your scheduled service.
