Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire dryer exhaust system from the appliance to the exterior vent hood. This reveals exactly where lint has accumulated and identifies any blockages or damage.

Next, we use specialized equipment to remove all lint buildup from the ductwork. We clean the dryer connection, the full length of ductwork, and the exterior vent. Everything gets thoroughly cleared.

Finally, we test airflow to ensure proper ventilation and check that your dryer is operating safely and efficiently. You get a complete report of what was found and what was done. Most jobs are completed the same day with immediate results you can feel.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on usage and your specific setup. Large families doing multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning. Homes with long ductwork runs or multiple bends need more frequent service because lint accumulates faster. If your clothes are taking longer to dry or you notice lint around the dryer area, don’t wait for the scheduled cleaning. Asbury Park’s coastal humidity can also accelerate lint buildup, so local homes often benefit from more frequent maintenance than inland properties.

What are the signs my dryer vent is clogged?

The most obvious sign is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like towels or jeans. You might smell burning or notice the dryer getting extremely hot during operation. Lint accumulating around the dryer or outside vent opening is another clear indicator. The laundry room feeling unusually hot and humid during drying cycles means airflow is restricted. If your dryer shuts off mid-cycle or you see condensation on windows near the laundry area, the vent is likely blocked. Any burning smell should be addressed immediately as it indicates dangerous lint buildup.

Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a fire?

Yes, clogged dryer vents cause thousands of house fires every year. Lint is extremely flammable and when it builds up in the ductwork, the dryer’s heat can ignite it. The U.S. Fire Administration reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires. Restricted airflow makes the dryer work harder and run hotter, increasing fire risk. The lint trap in your dryer only catches about 60% of lint – the rest travels through the ductwork where it accumulates over time. Professional cleaning removes this hidden buildup and eliminates the fire hazard completely.

How much does professional dryer vent cleaning cost?

Professional dryer vent cleaning typically costs between $100-200, depending on your system’s complexity and condition. Homes with longer ductwork runs or multiple bends may cost more due to the additional time required. However, the service pays for itself through reduced energy bills and extended dryer life. A clogged vent can increase drying time by 30-40%, significantly raising your electric bill. Plus you avoid potential dryer repairs or replacement costs. Apex provides free estimates so you know the exact cost upfront with no surprises or hidden fees.

Will cleaning my dryer vent really improve drying efficiency?

Absolutely. Most customers notice immediate improvement in drying time after professional vent cleaning. When lint blocks the ductwork, your dryer can’t exhaust hot, moist air properly, forcing it to work much harder. Clean vents restore proper airflow, allowing the dryer to operate as designed. You’ll typically see 25-40% reduction in drying time, which translates to lower energy bills and less wear on your appliance. Heavy items like comforters and towels that used to require multiple cycles often dry completely in one cycle after proper vent cleaning. The improvement is usually noticeable immediately.

Do you service dryer vents in older Asbury Park homes?

Yes, we specialize in older homes throughout Asbury Park and understand the unique challenges these properties present. Older homes often have longer, more complex ductwork runs with multiple bends that accumulate lint faster. Some have original ductwork that may need updating for safety and efficiency. Our experience with vintage New Jersey homes means we know what to look for and how to address common issues. We can also recommend ductwork improvements if needed and handle any necessary repairs or upgrades to bring your dryer vent system up to current safety standards.
