Your Dryer Works Like New Again

When your dryer vent is properly cleaned, clothes dry faster in single cycles instead of running two or three times. Your energy bills drop because the dryer doesn’t have to work as hard pushing air through clogged vents.

More importantly, you eliminate the fire risk that comes with lint buildup. The National Fire Protection Association reports that failure to clean dryer vents causes thousands of house fires every year.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. No more overheating. No more burning smells. No more lint scattered around your laundry area. Just a dryer that works the way it’s supposed to work.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a complete inspection of your dryer vent system, from the dryer connection to the exterior vent hood. This shows us where lint has accumulated and identifies any damage or blockages you can’t see.

Next, we use professional-grade equipment to remove all lint buildup from the entire vent line. We clean the dryer connection, the ductwork, and the exterior vent. We also check for proper airflow and make sure your vent hood opens and closes correctly.

Before we finish, we test your dryer to confirm proper airflow and efficiency. We’ll show you the lint we removed and explain any issues we found. You get a clear picture of your system’s condition and recommendations for keeping it clean.

Complete Dryer Vent Maintenance

More Than Just Lint Removal

Our dryer vent cleaning includes complete system inspection, lint removal from the entire vent line, exterior vent hood cleaning and adjustment, and airflow testing. We also check for code compliance issues that could affect your insurance or home sale.

Many Burlington homeowners discover damaged ductwork, improper installations, or vent hoods that don’t seal properly. We identify these problems during our inspection and can handle repairs the same day in most cases.

We also provide maintenance recommendations based on your specific dryer usage and vent configuration. Some homes need annual cleaning, others can go longer depending on household size and dryer frequency.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned professionally?

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on your household size and dryer usage. Large families running multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning, while smaller households can often go two years. If your clothes are taking longer to dry, you’re finding lint around the dryer area, or you notice burning smells, don’t wait – call immediately. These are signs of dangerous buildup that increases fire risk significantly.

Can I clean my dryer vent myself instead of hiring professionals?

You can clean the lint trap and the area immediately behind your dryer, but professional equipment is needed to properly clean the entire vent line. Most dryer vents run through walls, crawl spaces, or up multiple floors to reach the exterior. Professional tools can reach these areas and remove compacted lint that household tools can’t touch. DIY cleaning often misses the most dangerous buildup areas, giving you false confidence while the fire risk remains.

What are the warning signs that my dryer vent needs cleaning?

Watch for clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like towels and jeans. You might notice your dryer getting extremely hot, burning smells during operation, or lint accumulating around the dryer area. Outside, check if your exterior vent hood opens properly when the dryer runs. If it stays closed or barely opens, you likely have a blockage. Any of these signs mean you should schedule professional cleaning immediately to prevent fire risk.

How much does professional dryer vent cleaning cost in Burlington?

Professional dryer vent cleaning typically costs between $150-300 depending on your vent length, accessibility, and condition. Complex installations or severely clogged vents may cost more, but we provide free estimates so you know the exact price before we start. Consider this investment against the cost of replacing a dryer damaged by overheating, higher energy bills from inefficient operation, or worst case, fire damage to your home. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Will cleaning my dryer vent really reduce my energy bills?

Yes, significantly. When your dryer vent is clogged, your dryer works much harder to push air through the restricted opening. This means longer drying cycles, higher energy consumption, and more wear on your dryer motor and heating elements. Most customers notice immediate improvement in drying efficiency after professional cleaning. Clothes dry faster, the dryer runs cooler, and you’ll see lower energy bills within the first month. The service often pays for itself in energy savings.

Do you provide emergency dryer vent cleaning services?

Yes, we offer same-day emergency service for urgent dryer vent issues. If you’re experiencing burning smells, excessive heat, or other warning signs of dangerous lint buildup, don’t use your dryer and call us immediately. We understand that dryer vent blockages create serious fire hazards that can’t wait for regular scheduling. Our emergency service covers Burlington and surrounding areas, and we carry the equipment needed to handle most emergency situations on the first visit.
