Here's Exactly What We Do

We start by inspecting your entire dryer vent system from the dryer connection to the exterior vent. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and identifies any damage or code violations.

Next, we disconnect your dryer and use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuum equipment to remove all lint buildup from the ductwork. We clean the entire length of the vent, not just the easily accessible parts.

We also clean your dryer’s internal components where lint accumulates, check the exterior vent for proper airflow, and reconnect everything properly. Before we leave, we test the system to ensure optimal airflow and explain any maintenance recommendations.

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on usage and your specific setup. If you do multiple loads per week or have a long vent run, annual cleaning makes sense. Homes with shorter, straighter vents might go longer between cleanings. Signs you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking multiple cycles to dry, excessive heat in the laundry room, or lint accumulating around the dryer area.
You can clean the lint trap and the first few feet of ductwork yourself, but professional cleaning reaches areas you can’t access. Most dryer vents in Alamo homes run through walls, crawl spaces, or attics with turns and long distances that require specialized brushes and powerful vacuum equipment. DIY cleaning also misses the dryer’s internal components where lint builds up. Professional service ensures the entire system gets cleaned properly and safely.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry than they used to. Other warning signs include excessive heat in the laundry room, a burning smell when the dryer runs, lint visible around the dryer or outside vent, and the outside vent flap not opening when the dryer is running. If you notice any of these signs, schedule cleaning soon. Waiting increases fire risk and wastes energy on every load you dry.
Lint buildup creates serious fire hazards—dryer fires cause thousands of house fires annually. Your dryer also works harder to push air through clogged vents, increasing energy costs and shortening the appliance’s lifespan. Clothes take longer to dry, sometimes requiring multiple cycles for one load. The excess heat and moisture can damage your dryer’s components and create humidity problems in your laundry area. Regular cleaning prevents all these issues.
Most dryer vent cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours, depending on your system’s complexity and how much buildup we find. Simple, short vent runs might take less time, while homes with long runs, multiple turns, or heavy lint accumulation take longer. We don’t rush the job—thorough cleaning takes the time it takes. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when we arrive and see your specific setup.
Yes, clean dryer vents significantly improve efficiency and lower energy costs. When vents are clogged, your dryer uses more energy and runs longer to dry the same load. Clean vents restore proper airflow, so clothes dry faster and your dryer doesn’t work as hard. Most customers notice the difference in their first load after cleaning. Over time, the energy savings and extended dryer lifespan more than pay for the cleaning service.
