Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning Services

Your Dryer Works Like New Again

When your dryer vent gets clogged with lint, everything changes. Clothes take forever to dry. Your energy bills climb. That burning smell starts showing up.

Here’s what happens after we clean your dryer vent system. Your clothes dry in one cycle again. No more running the dryer twice or three times just to get a load done. Your energy bills drop because your dryer isn’t working overtime to push air through blocked vents.

The musty smell disappears. Your laundry room feels cooler. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing you’ve eliminated one of the leading causes of house fires. Over 15,000 dryer fires happen every year, and most could be prevented with proper vent cleaning.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Complete System Cleaning, Inside and Out

We start by disconnecting your dryer and inspecting the entire vent system from the appliance to the exterior vent hood. This shows us exactly where the blockages are and how much lint has built up.

Next, we use specialized equipment to remove all lint, debris, and obstructions from the ductwork. We clean the entire length of the vent – not just the easy-to-reach parts. Our tools reach every section, including those tricky bends and long runs to the outside.

After cleaning, we inspect the exterior vent hood and make sure it’s functioning properly. We reconnect everything, test your dryer’s airflow, and show you the difference. You’ll see exactly what we removed and feel the improved airflow immediately. Most customers notice their first load dries significantly faster.

Residential Dryer Vent Maintenance

What's Included in Every Service Call

Every dryer vent cleaning includes a complete system inspection, professional-grade lint removal, and exterior vent hood cleaning. We check for damaged ductwork, improper installations, and code compliance issues that could cause problems later.

Edison’s older neighborhoods often have dryer vents that haven’t been cleaned in years. We’ve pulled out everything from bird nests to decades of compacted lint. Some homes have vent runs that are too long or have too many bends, reducing efficiency even after cleaning.

We’ll tell you exactly what we find and explain any issues that need attention. If your vent hood is damaged or your ductwork needs repair, we handle that too. Our goal is making sure your dryer vent system works safely and efficiently for years to come.

How often should I have my dryer vent 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 run. Large families doing multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning, while smaller households can often go two years. If your clothes are taking longer to dry, you smell burning odors, or the laundry room gets unusually hot, don’t wait – call us immediately. These are signs of dangerous lint buildup that needs immediate attention.

How long does dryer vent cleaning take?

Most residential dryer vent cleanings take 60-90 minutes from start to finish. This includes disconnecting your dryer, cleaning the entire vent system, inspecting the exterior vent hood, and reconnecting everything. Longer vent runs or heavily clogged systems might take a bit more time. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we arrive and see your specific setup. We work efficiently but never rush the job – your safety depends on thorough cleaning.

What are the signs my dryer vent needs cleaning?

The biggest warning sign is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely. You might also notice your dryer getting extremely hot, burning smells during operation, or excessive lint around the dryer area. Outside, check if your exterior vent hood flapper isn’t opening properly or if you see lint buildup around the outside vent. Your laundry room feeling unusually hot and humid is another red flag. Any of these symptoms mean your vent is blocked and needs professional cleaning immediately.

Can I clean my dryer vent myself?

While you can clean the lint trap and the area immediately behind your dryer, the ductwork requires professional equipment and expertise. Store-bought vent cleaning kits only reach a few feet into the ductwork, leaving most of the system untouched. Professional cleaning removes lint from the entire vent run, including areas you can’t access. We also inspect for damage, code violations, and safety issues that homeowners typically miss. Attempting DIY cleaning on complex vent systems can actually push lint deeper into the ductwork, making the problem worse.

How much does professional dryer vent cleaning cost?

Dryer vent cleaning costs vary based on the length and complexity of your vent system, but most Edison homeowners pay between $150-300 for complete service. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before we start work. Consider that professional cleaning typically pays for itself through lower energy bills and extended dryer life. More importantly, it’s a small investment compared to the cost of a house fire or replacing a dryer that’s been damaged by poor airflow.

Do you offer emergency dryer vent cleaning services?

Yes, we provide same-day emergency service for dangerous situations like burning smells, overheating dryers, or visible lint buildup around vents. If you’re experiencing any signs of a blocked vent that could cause a fire, don’t use your dryer and call us immediately. We understand that dryer vent emergencies can’t wait, especially when family safety is at risk. Our emergency service covers all of Edison and surrounding areas, and we’ll prioritize your call when safety is a concern.
