What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes

Our service goes far beyond a simple lint trap check. We provide complete dryer duct system cleaning, from the appliance to the exterior vent.

We inspect the dryer, vent line, and exterior flap for damage, leaks, or obstructions.

Full-System Cleaning

Using high-powered vacuums and rotary brush systems, we clear the entire vent line of lint, dust, pet hair, and debris.

Airflow Testing

We test the dryer’s airflow and temperature before and after cleaning to ensure optimal performance.

Safety Checks

We check for improper venting materials, crushed hoses, or disconnected lines — all common safety hazards.

Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Is Essential

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, over 15,000 house fires each year are caused by dryer-related incidents — the majority due to clogged vents. Dryer vent cleaning is not just a maintenance task — it’s a critical safety measure.

Risks of a Clogged Dryer Vent:

  • Fire Hazard: Lint is highly flammable. If it builds up near the heating element, it can ignite.

  • Carbon Monoxide Buildup: Gas dryers with blocked vents can release deadly CO into your home.

  • Longer Drying Times: Restricted airflow means your dryer works harder, wasting time and energy.

  • Shortened Appliance Lifespan: A clogged vent forces your dryer to run longer, leading to overheating and premature wear.

  • Higher Utility Bills: Inefficient dryers consume more electricity or gas with each load.
