Our Dryer Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we disconnect your dryer and inspect the entire vent system from inside your home to the exterior outlet. This shows us exactly where lint has built up and if there are any blockages or damage.

Next, we use professional-grade equipment to remove all lint, debris, and obstructions from the vent line. We clean from both ends to make sure we get everything, not just what’s easy to reach.

Finally, we reconnect everything, test your dryer’s airflow, and show you the difference. You’ll see exactly what came out of your vents, and we’ll let you know if we spot any issues that need attention.

Complete Dryer Vent Cleaning

What's Included in Every Service

Every dryer vent cleaning includes a complete inspection of your vent system, professional cleaning of the entire vent line from dryer to exterior, and removal of all lint and debris.

We also check your exterior vent cap for damage or blockages, test airflow after cleaning, and provide recommendations if we spot any issues. You get a thorough job, not a quick fix.

Many Tuxedo homes have longer vent runs due to the way mountain homes are built. We have the equipment to handle these challenging installations and make sure every inch gets properly cleaned.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning once a year, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent run. If you’re doing multiple loads every week, or if your vent has several bends and turns, you might need cleaning more often. Signs you’re overdue include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting very hot, or lint showing up around the outside vent. When in doubt, it’s better to have it checked than to risk a fire.

Can I clean my dryer vent myself?

You can clean the lint trap and the area right behind your dryer, but the full vent line requires professional equipment. Most hardware store kits only reach a few feet into the vent, leaving the majority of the buildup untouched. Professional cleaning removes lint from the entire vent line, checks for damage or blockages, and ensures proper airflow. DIY cleaning might make you feel better, but it often leaves the real problem unsolved.

How do I know if my dryer vent is clogged?

The biggest sign is clothes taking much longer to dry than they used to. You might also notice the dryer getting extremely hot, a burning smell when it’s running, or lint accumulating around the outside vent opening. Sometimes you’ll see the dryer shutting off mid-cycle because it’s overheating. If your energy bills have gone up without explanation, a clogged dryer vent could be the culprit since your dryer has to work much harder to do its job.

What happens if I don't clean my dryer vent?

The immediate problems are longer drying times, higher energy bills, and excessive wear on your dryer. But the serious risk is fire. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it builds up in a hot vent system, it creates the perfect conditions for ignition. According to the National Fire Protection Association, failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires. Beyond fire risk, a completely blocked vent can cause carbon monoxide issues with gas dryers and can damage your dryer beyond repair.

How long does dryer vent cleaning take?

Most dryer vent cleaning jobs take between 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the length of your vent run and how much buildup we find. Tuxedo homes sometimes have longer or more complex vent systems due to the way mountain homes are constructed, which can add time. We’ll give you an estimate when we arrive and see your specific setup. The job includes inspection, cleaning, testing, and showing you what we removed, so you know the work was done thoroughly.

Do you guarantee your dryer vent cleaning work?

Yes, we stand behind our work. If you’re not satisfied with the cleaning or if you don’t notice improved dryer performance, we’ll come back and make it right. Our goal is to solve your dryer vent problems completely, not just collect a service fee. We want you to feel confident that your vent system is clean and safe, and that your dryer is working as efficiently as possible. Most customers notice a significant difference in drying time immediately after our service.
