Your Dryer Works Like New Again

Your clothes dry in one cycle instead of three. Your energy bill drops because your dryer isn’t working overtime to push air through a clogged vent. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing lint buildup isn’t turning your laundry room into a fire hazard.

Here in Colfax, our dry mountain climate makes lint accumulation worse than in other areas. That thick, compacted lint doesn’t just slow down your dryer – it creates the perfect conditions for a house fire.

When your dryer vent is properly cleaned, everything changes. Your dryer runs cooler, your clothes last longer, and you’re not throwing money away on wasted energy every time you do laundry.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Process Colfax

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire dryer vent system from the dryer connection to the exterior vent. We’re looking for clogs, damage, and areas where lint has built up over time.

Next, we use professional-grade equipment to remove all lint and debris from your vent line. This isn’t a shop vacuum job – we have specialized tools that reach every part of your vent system and extract the compacted lint that’s been building up for months or years.

Finally, we test your system to make sure airflow is restored and your dryer is venting properly to the outside. We’ll show you the difference in airflow and explain any issues we found during the cleaning.

You’ll see exactly what came out of your vents, and you’ll notice the difference in your dryer’s performance immediately.

More Than Just Lint Removal

Our dryer vent cleaning service covers your entire vent system, not just the easy-to-reach parts. We clean from the dryer connection all the way to where the vent exits your home.

We check for proper vent installation, damaged sections that could trap lint, and exterior vent covers that might be restricting airflow. In Colfax’s mountain environment, we often find that exterior vents get clogged with debris or damaged by weather.

You also get a clear explanation of what we found and recommendations for preventing future problems. We’ll tell you how often your specific setup needs cleaning based on your usage and vent configuration – not some generic timeline that doesn’t apply to your situation.

Most Colfax homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12-18 months, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and your vent setup. If you’re doing multiple loads daily or have a long vent run, you might need cleaning annually. Signs you need service sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting very hot, or lint appearing around the exterior vent. Our dry mountain climate can make lint more compacted than in humid areas, so don’t wait if you notice performance issues.
Your lint trap catches about 75% of lint, but the rest goes into your vent system where it builds up over time. Professional cleaning removes this accumulated lint from the entire vent line – from your dryer to the outside of your home. We use specialized equipment that reaches areas you can’t access and removes compacted lint that’s been building up for months or years. Even if you clean your lint trap religiously, you still need professional vent cleaning to prevent fires and maintain efficiency.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry – if you’re running two or three cycles for loads that used to dry in one, your vent is likely clogged. Other warning signs include your dryer getting extremely hot, lint appearing around the outside vent, a burning smell when the dryer runs, or the laundry room feeling more humid than usual. You might also notice your energy bills going up because your dryer is working harder to dry clothes through restricted airflow.
Yes, and it’s more common than most people realize. Dryer fires cause thousands of house fires every year, and the majority are caused by lint buildup in the vent system. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it accumulates in your vent, it creates perfect conditions for ignition. The combination of heat, restricted airflow, and flammable material is dangerous. Here in Colfax, our dry climate makes this risk even higher because lint doesn’t have moisture to weigh it down – it stays light and flammable.
Beyond the fire risk, you’ll waste money on energy costs because your dryer has to work harder and longer to dry clothes. Your dryer will wear out faster from overheating and overuse. Your clothes will take longer to dry and may come out damp or overheated, which damages fabric. You might also deal with excess humidity in your laundry room and potentially carbon monoxide issues if you have a gas dryer. The longer you wait, the more compacted the lint becomes and the more expensive the cleaning gets.
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 vent cover. We don’t disassemble your dryer internally, but we do clean the connection point where your dryer meets the vent system. If we notice issues with your dryer itself during our inspection, we’ll let you know what you should have checked by an appliance technician.
