Here's Exactly What We Do

We start by inspecting your entire dryer vent system, from the dryer connection to the exterior vent. This shows us exactly where the blockages are and how much buildup we’re dealing with.

Next, we disconnect your dryer and use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuum equipment to remove all the lint, debris, and buildup from the entire vent line. We clean both directions – from inside your home and from the exterior vent.

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 give you maintenance tips to keep everything running smoothly between cleanings.

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and what type of laundry you do. Large families, homes with long vent runs, or people who dry heavy items like comforters and towels frequently might need annual cleaning. If your clothes are taking longer to dry, you smell burning odors, or the dryer gets extremely hot, don’t wait – get it cleaned immediately. We can assess your specific situation and give you a realistic timeline based on your usage and vent configuration.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like jeans and towels. You might also notice your dryer getting extremely hot, burning smells when it’s running, or lint accumulating around the dryer area more than usual. Check your exterior vent while the dryer is running – if there’s little to no airflow coming out, or if the vent flap barely opens, you likely have a blockage. Some people also notice their utility bills creeping up as the dryer works harder to push air through clogged vents.
You can clean the lint screen and the area right behind your dryer, but the vent line itself requires professional equipment to do properly. Most dryer vents run through walls, crawl spaces, or attics before reaching the exterior, and standard household tools can’t reach or effectively clean these areas. DIY vent cleaning kits from hardware stores might help with light maintenance, but they can’t match the power and reach of professional equipment. Plus, we can spot potential safety issues, code violations, or damage that most homeowners would miss.
The biggest risk is fire – lint is extremely flammable, and when it builds up in your vent system, it creates a serious fire hazard. Beyond safety concerns, clogged vents make your dryer work much harder, leading to higher energy bills, longer drying times, and premature wear on your appliance. Your dryer’s heating element, motor, and other components will fail sooner when the system can’t breathe properly. You’ll also deal with ongoing frustration of clothes that won’t dry, potential mold issues from damp clothing, and eventually costly dryer repairs or replacement.
Most residential dryer vent cleanings take 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the length of your vent run and how much buildup we’re dealing with. Simple, short vents in newer homes might be done in 45 minutes, while longer runs or heavily clogged systems can take up to two hours. We’ll give you a time estimate when we arrive and see your specific setup. The process includes inspection, cleaning, reconnection, and testing, so we’re not rushing through any steps that affect your safety or the quality of the cleaning.
