What Happens After We Clean Your Vents

Your clothes dry faster. Your energy bills drop. Your laundry room stops feeling like a sauna.

Most homeowners don’t realize their dryer is working three times harder than it should. When lint clogs your vent system, your dryer can’t exhale properly. It overheats, runs longer cycles, and burns through energy while barely drying your clothes.

After professional dryer vent cleaning, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Loads that used to take two or three cycles finish in one. Your dryer runs cooler and quieter. Your energy bill reflects the improved efficiency within the first month.

Shepherd Canyon Vent Cleaning Company

We Only Do Dryer Vents

We specialize exclusively in dryer vent and air duct services throughout Shepherd Canyon and the greater Oakland Hills area. We’re not a general cleaning company trying to do everything.

We’ve been serving Bay Area homeowners for years, and we understand the unique challenges of older homes in this area. Many houses in Shepherd Canyon have longer vent runs and complex routing that requires specialized equipment and experience.

Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained specifically on dryer vent systems. We carry professional-grade equipment that removes 100% of lint buildup, not just what you can reach with a brush.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a complete inspection of your dryer vent system, from the dryer connection to the exterior exhaust. This shows us exactly where the blockages are and how severe the buildup has become.

Next, we disconnect your dryer and use high-powered vacuum equipment combined with rotating brush systems to remove every bit of lint from the entire vent line. We clean the dryer connection, the ductwork, and the exterior vent cap.

We test airflow before and after cleaning so you can see the measurable improvement. Most systems show a 300-400% increase in airflow after professional cleaning. We reconnect everything, test your dryer’s operation, and show you the results.

Complete Dryer Vent Cleaning Service

What's Included in Every Service Call

Every dryer vent cleaning includes complete system inspection, professional-grade equipment cleaning, exterior vent cleaning, and airflow testing. We don’t charge extra for longer vent runs or multiple bends that are common in Shepherd Canyon homes.

You’ll receive before and after photos showing the lint removal, plus a written report of our findings. If we discover any damaged ductwork or improper installations, we’ll explain your options without any pressure to buy additional services.

We also provide maintenance recommendations based on your specific usage patterns and vent configuration. Some homes need annual cleaning, others can go 18-24 months depending on the system design and how often you do laundry.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned professionally?

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 12-18 months, but it depends on several factors. If you do multiple loads per week, have a large family, or own pets that shed, you’ll need more frequent cleaning. Homes with longer vent runs or multiple bends also accumulate lint faster. The best indicator is performance – if your clothes aren’t drying completely in one normal cycle, or if your dryer feels unusually hot, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done.

Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a house fire?

Yes, clogged dryer vents cause approximately 2,900 house fires every year according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it builds up in your vent system, it restricts airflow and causes your dryer to overheat. The combination of heat, restricted airflow, and flammable material creates the perfect conditions for ignition. This is especially concerning in areas like Shepherd Canyon where dry conditions and fire risk are already elevated. Professional cleaning removes this fire hazard completely.

Why is my dryer taking so long to dry clothes?

When your dryer vent is clogged with lint, your dryer can’t exhaust hot, moist air properly. This means the humid air stays trapped in the drum, preventing clothes from drying efficiently. Your dryer works harder and runs longer, but the clothes stay damp. Other signs include the dryer feeling extremely hot to touch, the laundry room becoming humid and hot, or a burning smell during operation. Professional vent cleaning typically resolves these issues immediately by restoring proper airflow.

How much money can I save with professional dryer vent cleaning?

Most homeowners save $15-30 per month on energy costs after professional dryer vent cleaning. When your vent is clogged, your dryer uses significantly more energy to achieve the same results – sometimes running 2-3 times longer than necessary. A typical cleaning pays for itself within 3-4 months through energy savings alone. You’ll also extend your dryer’s lifespan by reducing the strain on the motor and heating elements, avoiding costly repairs or premature replacement.

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

DIY dryer vent cleaning kits can only reach a few feet into your vent system and don’t have the power to remove compacted lint. Professional equipment includes high-powered vacuums and rotating brush systems that clean the entire vent run from dryer to exterior. We also inspect areas you can’t see, like interior ductwork and the exterior vent cap. Many Shepherd Canyon homes have 15-25 foot vent runs with multiple turns that require professional equipment to clean effectively.

Do you service homes in Shepherd Canyon specifically?

Yes, we regularly service homes throughout Shepherd Canyon and understand the unique challenges of this area. Many homes here have longer dryer vent runs due to the layout and age of the houses, plus the hilly terrain can affect exterior vent placement. We’re familiar with the common vent configurations in this neighborhood and carry equipment specifically designed for longer, more complex vent systems. We typically can provide same-day or next-day service to Shepherd Canyon residents.
