How do I know my vent is clogged?

Clothes take two cycles, the dryer top feels hot, the laundry room is humid, or the exterior flapper no longer opens when the dryer runs.

Can you clean a vent that runs through a wall or roof?

Yes. We service roof terminations, wall terminations, second-floor laundries and long runs that cross the house.

Is dryer vent cleaning worth it?

It is the cheapest fire-risk reduction you can buy for your home, and it typically pays for itself in dryer efficiency within a season.

Dryer Vent Cleaning & Safety Inspection

Most homeowners clean the lint trap and assume that is enough. It is not. Lint escapes the trap and packs into the duct behind your dryer, and by the time it reaches the exterior vent it has formed a highly combustible blanket. We clean the entire run — from the dryer connection to the outside termination — and verify airflow with a meter.

Why it matters

The case for professional dryer vent cleaning.

Lower fire risk

The U.S. Fire Administration attributes thousands of home fires each year to dryer vents. Removing the lint removes the fuel.

Dry clothes in one cycle

Restricted airflow is the number one reason a dryer needs two or three cycles. Most customers notice the difference the same day.

Lower energy bills

A dryer fighting a clogged vent runs longer and hotter. Clearing the run typically cuts drying energy use noticeably.

Longer appliance life

Overheating from poor airflow burns out heating elements and drum bearings years early. Clean vents keep the machine running cooler.

Our process

How a dryer vent cleaning works, start to finish.

Access & baseline test

We pull the dryer out, disconnect the transition duct and measure baseline airflow so we can prove the improvement.

Rotary brush & vacuum

A rotary brush system runs the full length of the duct while a high-volume vacuum captures every particle of lint.

Exterior termination

We clear the outside hood and flapper, remove nests, and confirm the vent actually opens and closes correctly.

Reconnect & verify

The duct is reconnected with a proper metal transition, then re-tested so you see the new airflow reading before we go.
