You sleep better knowing lint isn’t building up behind your walls. Dryer fires start in seconds, but proper vent cleaning prevents them entirely. Your family’s safety isn’t worth the risk of waiting.

Chinatown Dryer Vent Company

We Only Do Dryer Vents

We’ve been serving Chinatown and Sacramento area residents for years. We’re not a general cleaning company that does dryer vents on the side.

This is what we do, every day. We know the unique challenges of older buildings in Chinatown, the complex vent systems, and the tight spaces that make this work tricky.

Our technicians are licensed, insured, and equipped with professional-grade tools that reach every inch of your vent system. We show up on time, explain what we’re doing, and leave your home cleaner than we found it.

Our Dryer Vent Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start by disconnecting your dryer and inspecting the entire vent system from inside to outside. This tells us where the blockages are and how much buildup we’re dealing with.

Next, we use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove every bit of lint from your ductwork. We clean the vent hood outside, check for damage, and make sure airflow is completely restored.

Before we reconnect everything, we test the system to confirm proper airflow and check that your dryer is venting correctly. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run your first load. The whole process takes about an hour, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

Complete Vent Cleaning Service

What's Included in Every Service

Every dryer vent cleaning includes the complete system from your dryer to the outside vent hood. We don’t just clean what’s easy to reach.

You get professional-grade equipment that removes lint buildup your shop vacuum can’t touch. We clean the transition hose, the entire ductwork run, and the exterior vent cover where birds and debris often cause problems.

We also inspect for damage, disconnected joints, or code violations that could cause problems later. Many Chinatown buildings have older vent systems that need attention beyond just cleaning. If we find issues, we’ll explain them clearly so you can make informed decisions about repairs.

How often should I get my dryer vent cleaned?

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and what you’re drying. Large families doing multiple loads daily might need cleaning annually. If you’re noticing clothes taking longer to dry or your dryer getting hot, don’t wait for the calendar. Lint buildup happens faster than most people realize, especially in homes with pets or when drying items that shed a lot of fibers like towels and blankets.

Can I clean my dryer vent myself?

You can clean the lint trap and maybe the first few feet of ductwork, but most homeowners can’t reach the entire system. Dryer vents often run through walls, up to second floors, or across long horizontal distances that require professional equipment. The real problem areas are usually deep in the ductwork where lint compacts and hardens over time. DIY cleaning also misses the exterior vent hood where birds nest and debris accumulates. Professional cleaning ensures the entire system is clear and functioning safely.

How do I know if my dryer vent is clogged?

The biggest sign is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like jeans or towels. Your dryer might also feel extremely hot to the touch, shut off mid-cycle, or leave clothes hotter than normal when finished. Outside, check if your vent hood flap opens when the dryer runs, or if you see lint around the exterior vent. Higher than normal energy bills are another indicator since clogged vents make your dryer work much harder to do the same job.

Is dryer vent cleaning really necessary for fire prevention?

Absolutely. The National Fire Protection Association reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, accounting for about 2,900 home fires annually. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it builds up in your vent system, it creates the perfect conditions for ignition. The heat from your dryer, combined with restricted airflow, can cause lint to catch fire and spread quickly through your walls. Regular professional cleaning removes this fire hazard completely, which is why many insurance companies recommend annual dryer vent maintenance.

How much does professional dryer vent cleaning cost?

Professional dryer vent cleaning typically costs between $100 to $200 for most homes, depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. This investment pays for itself quickly through lower energy bills and extended dryer life. Compare that to the cost of replacing a dryer damaged by overheating, or the thousands in damage from a dryer fire. Most customers find the service saves them money within a few months through improved efficiency and reduced repair needs.

What happens if I never clean my dryer vent?

Eventually, your dryer will stop working effectively as lint buildup restricts airflow. You’ll spend more time and money running multiple cycles for every load. The bigger risks are fire hazards from overheating and carbon monoxide buildup if you have a gas dryer. Your dryer will also wear out faster from working harder to push air through clogged vents, leading to expensive repairs or early replacement. Many homeowners don’t realize their “broken” dryer just needs the vent system cleaned to restore normal operation and efficiency.
