Our Dryer Vent Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire dryer vent system from the dryer to the outside exhaust. We check for blockages, damage, and code compliance issues that could cause problems down the road.

Next, we use specialized equipment to remove all lint buildup from the vent line and exhaust hood. This isn’t a shop vacuum job—we’re talking about professional-grade tools that reach every inch of your vent system.

We test airflow before and after cleaning so you can see the difference. Then we check that your outside vent hood opens and closes properly. You get a clear explanation of what we found and any recommendations for keeping your system running safely.

How often should dryer vents be cleaned professionally?

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and how long your vent run is. Large families doing multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning. Homes with longer vent runs or multiple bends collect lint faster. Signs you need cleaning now include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting very hot, or lint visible around the dryer area. If you’re not sure, we provide free estimates and can check your system.

What are the signs my dryer vent is clogged?

The biggest red flag is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like towels or jeans. Your dryer might get extremely hot to the touch or shut off mid-cycle from overheating. You might notice a burning smell, lint accumulating around the dryer, or the outside vent hood not opening when the dryer runs. Higher energy bills are another sign—clogged vents make your dryer work much harder. Any of these symptoms mean it’s time for professional cleaning.

Can clogged dryer vents really cause house fires?

Yes, dryer fires cause thousands of house fires every year, and most are preventable with proper vent maintenance. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it builds up in your vent system, the heat from your dryer can ignite it. The fire can spread quickly through the vent and into your walls. This is why we take dryer vent cleaning seriously—it’s not just about efficiency, it’s about protecting your family and home from a very real fire hazard.

How long does professional dryer vent cleaning take?

Most residential dryer vent cleaning takes 1-2 hours, depending on the length of your vent run and how much buildup we find. We don’t rush the job—proper cleaning means accessing the entire vent system, not just the easy parts. We also include inspection time to check for damage or code issues. If we find bird nests or need to make minor repairs, it might take a bit longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when we arrive and keep you updated throughout the process.

What's the difference between DIY and professional dryer vent cleaning?

DIY kits from the hardware store only clean a few feet into your vent line, missing most of the buildup in longer runs. Professional equipment reaches the entire vent system from dryer to outside exhaust. We also inspect for damage, code violations, and proper vent hood operation—things homeowners typically miss. Most importantly, we know how to safely disconnect and reconnect your dryer without damaging gas lines or electrical connections. The thoroughness and safety of professional cleaning is worth the investment.

Do you provide emergency dryer vent cleaning services?

Yes, we offer same-day emergency service when your dryer overheats, stops working, or you smell burning odors. These situations can indicate dangerous lint buildup that needs immediate attention. We understand that laundry can’t wait, especially for busy families. Our emergency service covers all of New Jersey, and we carry the equipment needed to handle most problems on the first visit. Call us immediately if you notice burning smells or your dryer is overheating—don’t use it until we can inspect the vent system.
