Your Dryer Works Like New Again

You know something’s wrong when clothes need two or three cycles to dry. That’s your dryer telling you the vent is clogged with lint.

After professional dryer vent cleaning, your dryer works efficiently again. Clothes dry faster, your energy bills drop, and you stop worrying about lint fires. The musty smell disappears too.

Most homeowners are surprised how much lint comes out of their vents. Even if you clean your dryer’s lint trap religiously, lint still builds up deep in the ductwork where you can’t reach it. That’s where the real problems start.

Complete Dryer Vent Cleaning

What's Included in Every Service

Every dryer vent cleaning includes a complete inspection of your entire vent system, professional lint removal from the full length of ductwork, and exterior vent cleaning and inspection.

We also check for damaged or disconnected ductwork, improper installations, and other issues that could cause problems. If we find something that needs attention, we’ll explain it clearly and give you options.

In Muir’s climate, we often find exterior vents that are partially blocked by debris or have damaged flaps that let moisture in. These issues can cause bigger problems over time, so we address them as part of our standard service.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?

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 system. If you have a large family doing multiple loads daily, you might need annual cleaning. Homes with shorter, straighter vent runs can often go longer between cleanings. The best indicator is your dryer’s performance – if clothes are taking longer to dry or feeling extra hot, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done.

Can I clean my dryer vent myself?

You can clean the lint trap and maybe the first few feet of ductwork, but professional equipment is needed for thorough cleaning. Most dryer vents are 15-25 feet long with turns and bends that trap lint. Home improvement store kits don’t have the power or reach to remove lint from the entire system. Professional cleaning also includes inspecting for damage, disconnections, or code violations that homeowners typically miss. DIY cleaning might make you feel better, but it rarely solves the underlying problem.

How do I know if my dryer vent needs cleaning?

The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry than they used to. Other warning signs include clothes feeling extra hot at the end of a cycle, a burning smell when the dryer runs, or the laundry room getting unusually warm and humid. You might also notice lint around the outside vent opening or the vent flap not opening properly 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.

Are clogged dryer vents really a fire hazard?

Yes, clogged dryer vents cause thousands of house fires every year. When lint builds up in the ductwork, it restricts airflow and causes your dryer to overheat. Lint is extremely flammable, and the combination of heat buildup and flammable material creates serious fire risk. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires. Regular professional cleaning eliminates this risk by removing the lint buildup that causes overheating and provides fuel for fires.

How long does dryer vent cleaning take?

Most dryer vent cleaning jobs take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. Longer runs or vents with multiple turns might take a bit more time. We also spend time showing you what we found and explaining any issues we discovered. The actual cleaning is just part of the service – we also inspect your entire system and make sure everything is reconnected properly and working efficiently before we leave.

What does professional dryer vent cleaning cost?

Dryer vent cleaning typically costs between $100-200 for most homes, depending on the length and accessibility of your vent system. This includes complete cleaning of the entire vent run, exterior vent inspection and cleaning, and system testing. Some companies charge extra for longer runs or difficult access, so ask about pricing upfront. While it might seem expensive, consider that a clogged vent can add $20-30 monthly to your energy bills and significantly shorten your dryer’s lifespan. Professional cleaning pays for itself quickly through improved efficiency.
