We test airflow before and after to show you the improvement. Then we inspect for any damage, improper installations, or code violations that could cause problems later.

How often should I have my dryer vent professionally cleaned?

Most residential dryer vents need professional cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent run. Large families doing multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning, while couples or individuals might go two years between services. Signs you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting hot to the touch, or lint accumulating around the exterior vent. We’ll give you a specific recommendation based on your system and usage patterns.

What are the warning signs that 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 notice the dryer getting extremely hot during operation, or the laundry room feeling warmer and more humid than usual. Other red flags include a burning smell when the dryer runs, lint visible around the exterior vent opening, or the vent hood flap not opening properly when the dryer is on. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, stop using your dryer and call for professional cleaning immediately.

Can clogged dryer vents really cause house fires?

Absolutely. Dryer fires account for thousands of house fires every year, and the leading cause is failure to clean dryer vents. When lint builds up in the vent system, it restricts airflow and causes the dryer to overheat. Lint is extremely flammable, and the combination of heat buildup and combustible material creates serious fire risk. The U.S. Fire Administration reports that 34% of dryer fires are caused by failure to clean the system. Professional cleaning eliminates this risk by removing all lint and debris from the entire vent system.

How much money can I save with professional dryer vent cleaning?

Most homeowners see their dryer’s energy consumption drop by 30-50% after professional cleaning, which translates to real savings on monthly electric bills. If your dryer is currently taking two cycles to dry what should dry in one, you’re essentially doubling your energy usage for every load. Professional cleaning also extends your dryer’s lifespan significantly by reducing wear and tear from overwork. When you factor in avoided repair costs and the improved efficiency, most homeowners save several hundred dollars per year after professional cleaning.
