What Clean Vents Actually Do

Your clothes dry faster. Your energy bills drop. Your dryer stops overheating and that burning smell disappears.

Most people don’t realize their dryer is working twice as hard as it should. When lint builds up in your vent system, your dryer can’t exhale properly. It’s like trying to breathe through a straw.

Clean vents mean your dryer runs efficiently again. One cycle gets your clothes completely dry instead of two or three. Your utility bills go down because your dryer isn’t running constantly. And you eliminate the fire hazard that causes over 15,000 house fires every year.

Lower Bottoms Dryer Vent Experts

We Know Dryer Vents Inside Out

We’ve been serving Lower Bottoms and the greater Sacramento area for years. We focus specifically on dryer vent and air duct cleaning because that’s what we do best.

Our technicians understand how vent systems work and what goes wrong when they’re neglected. We’ve seen everything from completely blocked vents to dangerous lint buildup that was inches away from igniting.

We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with professional-grade tools that actually remove lint from every part of your vent system. Not just the easy-to-reach sections.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start by inspecting your entire vent system from the dryer to the exterior exit point. This shows us where lint has accumulated and identifies any damage or disconnections.

Next, we disconnect your dryer and use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuum equipment to remove lint from the ductwork. We clean from both ends to ensure we get everything. The exterior vent gets cleared too, including the flapper that often gets stuck shut.

After cleaning, we reconnect everything properly and test your dryer to make sure it’s running efficiently. We’ll show you the lint we removed and explain any issues we found. You’ll get recommendations for maintenance and signs to watch for in the future.

Complete Dryer Vent Cleaning Service

What's Included in Every Service

Every dryer vent cleaning includes a full system inspection, complete lint removal from all ductwork, exterior vent cleaning, and proper reconnection of your dryer. We use professional equipment designed specifically for dryer vents, not general cleaning tools.

You’ll get upfront pricing before we start. No surprises or hidden fees. If we find damage or safety issues, we’ll explain your options clearly. Most cleanings take 1-2 hours depending on your vent length and condition.

We serve Lower Bottoms and surrounding Sacramento areas with same-day service when possible. Our technicians carry the equipment needed for most residential dryer vent configurations, including longer runs and multiple bends that trap more lint.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned professionally?

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent run. Large families doing multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning. Homes with longer vent runs or multiple bends collect lint faster. Signs you need cleaning include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting very hot, or lint appearing around the dryer area despite cleaning the lint trap regularly.

What's the difference between cleaning the lint trap and professional vent cleaning?

Your lint trap only catches about 60% of the lint your dryer produces. The rest travels through the ductwork and accumulates along the way, especially at bends and joints. Professional cleaning removes this hidden buildup using specialized brushes and vacuum equipment that can reach the entire vent system. We clean from the dryer connection all the way to where the vent exits your home, including areas you can’t access yourself.

How do I know if my dryer vent is clogged or needs cleaning?

The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry than they used to. Other warning signs include the dryer getting very hot during operation, a burning smell, lint accumulating around the dryer despite regular filter cleaning, or the exterior vent flapper not opening when the dryer runs. If your energy bills have increased without explanation, a clogged dryer vent could be the culprit since your dryer has to work much harder to dry clothes.

Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a house fire?

Yes, clogged dryer vents cause approximately 15,000 house fires annually according to the National Fire Protection Association. Lint is highly flammable, and when it builds up in your vent system, it creates the perfect conditions for ignition. The combination of heat, restricted airflow, and accumulated lint can cause fires that spread quickly. This is why fire departments and insurance companies recommend regular professional dryer vent cleaning as an essential home safety measure.

How long does dryer vent cleaning take and what should I expect?

Most residential dryer vent cleanings take 1-2 hours depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. We’ll need access to your dryer and the exterior vent exit point. The process involves some noise from our equipment, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption. You can expect to see a significant amount of lint removed, even if you clean your lint trap religiously. We’ll test your dryer afterward to ensure it’s operating efficiently.

What's the cost difference between DIY cleaning and professional service?

DIY dryer vent cleaning kits cost $20-50 but only clean the first few feet of ductwork. They can’t reach the entire system or remove compacted lint effectively. Professional cleaning costs more upfront but actually cleans the complete vent system, identifies safety issues, and often pays for itself through reduced energy costs and extended dryer life. Consider that replacing a dryer damaged by overheating costs hundreds of dollars, while fire damage costs thousands. Professional cleaning is preventive maintenance that protects your investment.
