What it is
What is dryer vent cleaning?
Every load of laundry sends lint through the vent that runs from the back of your dryer to the outside of your home. The lint trap catches a lot of it, but not all. Over time, lint builds up inside the vent and restricts airflow.
A dryer vent cleaning clears that lint from the full length of the vent, from the dryer connection to the exterior opening, so hot, moist air can escape the way it's supposed to.
-

Lint is highly flammable. Keeping the vent clear is an important part of home fire safety.

FAQs
Dryer Vent Cleaning questions
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
For most households, about once a year. Busy households, long vent runs, or vents with several turns may need it more often.
Isn't cleaning the lint trap enough?
The lint trap catches a lot, but some lint still makes it into the vent. Over time it builds up where you can't see or reach it.
Can you clean vents that exit through the roof?
In many cases, yes. Let us know where your vent exits when you request an estimate so we can plan for it.
How long does it take?
Most dryer vent cleanings are fairly quick. We'll give you a time estimate when we schedule.
Do you service apartment buildings or rentals?
Yes. We work with property owners and managers. Call us to talk through the number of units and access.
