What Changes After We Clean

Your dryer works like it should again. Clothes dry in one cycle instead of two or three. Your energy bill drops because the dryer isn’t working overtime to push air through packed lint.

Most importantly, you stop worrying about fire risk. Every year, thousands of house fires start in dryers clogged with lint. When your vent system is clean, hot air flows freely instead of building up dangerous heat.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. No more pulling out damp clothes after a full cycle. No more running the dryer twice for a single load. Just efficient drying that saves time, money, and gives you real peace of mind about your family’s safety.

Our Dryer Vent Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire dryer vent system from the dryer to the exterior exit point. We check for damage, improper installation, or areas where lint typically accumulates. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with.

Next, we disconnect your dryer and use professional rotary brush systems to scrub the entire vent line clean. Our equipment reaches every section of the ductwork, removing packed lint that standard cleaning methods miss. We also clean the dryer’s internal components where lint builds up.

Finally, we reconnect everything properly, test airflow, and show you the difference. You’ll see exactly what came out of your vents, and we’ll explain any issues we found. Most customers are shocked by how much lint we remove, even from vents they thought were clean.

Complete Dryer Vent Cleaning

What's Included in Every Service

Every dryer vent cleaning includes complete inspection and cleaning of your entire vent system. We clean from the dryer connection all the way to the exterior exit, removing all lint buildup and debris. Our service covers the dryer’s internal lint trap area, the transition hose, and the full length of ductwork.

We also check for common problems like crushed ducts, improper connections, or exterior vents blocked by debris. In Locke’s older homes, we often find vent systems that were installed incorrectly or have developed problems over time. We’ll identify these issues and explain your options.

You get a complete airflow test before we leave, plus practical advice on maintaining your system between cleanings. We’ll show you warning signs to watch for and explain how often your specific setup needs professional cleaning based on your family’s laundry habits and vent configuration.

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Large families doing multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning, while smaller households can often go longer. The length and complexity of your vent system also matters. Longer runs with multiple turns collect lint faster than short, straight vents. If your clothes are taking longer to dry, you’re finding lint around the dryer, or you notice a burning smell, don’t wait for your regular schedule. These are signs your vents need immediate attention.
Basic maintenance like cleaning your lint trap after every load is essential, but thorough vent cleaning requires professional equipment. Store-bought vent cleaning kits only reach a few feet into the ductwork, leaving most of the system untouched. Professional rotary brush systems clean the entire length of your vents, including areas where lint packs tight over time. We also have the tools to properly disconnect and reconnect your dryer, plus the experience to identify problems like damaged ducts or improper installation that homeowners typically miss.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry than normal. If loads that used to dry in one cycle now need two or three, your vents are likely clogged. Other warning signs include the dryer getting extremely hot during operation, a burning smell when running, lint visible around the dryer or outside vent, and the outside vent flap not opening properly when the dryer runs. You might also notice your laundry room getting unusually hot and humid. Any of these symptoms mean your dryer is working harder than it should, wasting energy and creating fire risk.
Professional dryer vent cleaning typically costs between $100-200 for most homes, depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. Longer runs, multiple turns, or difficult access points can increase the price. However, this investment pays for itself quickly through lower energy bills and extended dryer life. A clogged dryer can use 30% more energy than a clean one, and replacing a dryer that burns out from overwork costs much more than regular maintenance. We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what to expect.
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 longer systems with heavy lint accumulation can take longer. We don’t rush the job because thorough cleaning requires time to properly clean every section of ductwork. The process includes inspection, cleaning, testing, and explaining what we found. We’ll give you a time estimate when we arrive and keep you updated if we discover issues that need additional attention.
Absolutely. The National Fire Protection Association reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, accounting for thousands of house fires annually. When lint blocks airflow, heat builds up to dangerous levels. Clean vents allow hot air to flow freely, preventing overheating. You’ll also see immediate energy savings because your dryer won’t have to work as hard or run as long. Many customers report their energy bills drop noticeably after cleaning, and clothes dry faster than they have in years. It’s one of the most cost-effective home maintenance services for both safety and savings.
