What Happens After We Clean Your Vents

Your clothes dry faster. Your energy bills drop. That burning smell disappears, and you stop worrying every time you run a load.

Most East Orange homeowners don’t realize their dryer is working three times harder than it should. When lint builds up in your vent system, your dryer can’t exhaust hot air properly. It overheats, runs longer cycles, and creates a serious fire hazard.

After professional dryer vent cleaning, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Clothes that used to take two or three cycles will dry completely in one. Your laundry room won’t feel like a sauna. And you’ll have peace of mind knowing your family is safer from one of the leading causes of house fires.

Our 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 tells us exactly where the blockages are and what kind of buildup we’re dealing with.

Next, we use professional-grade equipment to remove all lint, debris, and obstructions from your vent line. We clean the entire pathway, not just the easy-to-reach sections. Our NADCA-certified process ensures we follow industry standards for thorough cleaning.

We finish by testing your system to make sure airflow is restored and checking your exterior vent hood for proper operation. Before we leave, we’ll show you the difference and give you maintenance tips to keep your system running efficiently. The whole process typically takes 1-2 hours, and you’ll see immediate results.

How often should I have my dryer vent professionally cleaned?

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent system. If you’re doing multiple loads per week or have a long vent run, annual cleaning is smart. Signs you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, excessive heat in your laundry room, or lint accumulating around your dryer. In East Orange’s older homes, we often recommend annual service because the vent systems tend to be longer and more complex.

What are the warning signs that my dryer vent is clogged?

The biggest red flag is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like towels and jeans. You might also notice your dryer getting extremely hot, burning smells during operation, or lint building up around the dryer area. Outside, check if your exterior vent hood flap opens properly when the dryer runs. If it stays closed or barely moves, you likely have a blockage. Many East Orange homeowners also report their laundry room feeling unusually hot and humid, which indicates poor airflow through the vent system.

Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a house fire?

Absolutely. Clogged dryer vents cause thousands of house fires every year, and it’s one of the leading causes of residential fires. When lint blocks your vent, hot air can’t escape properly, causing your dryer to overheat. Lint is extremely flammable, and the combination of heat buildup and combustible material creates a serious fire hazard. The risk is even higher in older homes where vent systems may not meet current safety standards. Regular professional cleaning eliminates this risk by removing the lint buildup and ensuring proper airflow.

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

Most homeowners see their energy bills drop by 15-25% after professional dryer vent cleaning because their dryer works more efficiently. When your vent is clear, clothes dry faster and your dryer doesn’t have to run as long or work as hard. You’ll also extend your dryer’s lifespan significantly, avoiding costly repairs or early replacement. A typical dryer lasts 10-13 years, but poor ventilation can cut that in half. The service pays for itself through lower energy costs and fewer appliance problems, usually within the first year.
