Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a complete inspection of your dryer vent system from the appliance to the exterior vent hood. This shows us exactly where the blockages are and how severe the buildup has become.

Next, we use professional-grade equipment to remove all lint, debris, and obstructions from the entire vent run. We’re not just cleaning the lint trap – we’re clearing the whole system that connects your dryer to the outside.

Finally, we test the airflow to make sure everything is working properly and check the exterior vent hood for damage or bird nests. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run your first load of laundry.

Kendall Park homes often have longer vent runs because of the neighborhood’s architectural style. These extended systems trap more lint and require more thorough cleaning than standard suburban setups. We understand these local challenges and adjust our approach accordingly.

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 how much you use your dryer and how long your vent run is. If you’re doing laundry for a large family daily, you’ll need cleaning more often than someone who does a few loads per week. Kendall Park homes often have longer vent runs due to the neighborhood’s layout, which means lint accumulates faster. Signs you need cleaning now include clothes taking multiple cycles to dry, the dryer getting extremely hot, or lint visible around the exterior vent.

Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a house fire?

Yes, and it happens more often than people realize. The National Fire Protection Association reports that dryers cause about 15,000 house fires annually, with lint buildup being the leading cause. When your vent is clogged, hot air and lint get trapped inside the system, creating perfect conditions for ignition. The lint is essentially tinder, and your dryer produces enough heat to light it. Professional cleaning removes this fire hazard completely. It’s not worth the risk when the solution is straightforward and affordable.

Why is my dryer taking so long to dry clothes?

When your dryer vent is clogged, moist air can’t escape properly, so your clothes stay damp even after a full cycle. The dryer keeps running but can’t do its job because the exhaust system is blocked with lint. This forces you to run multiple cycles, which wastes time and drives up your energy bills. Sometimes people think their dryer is broken and buy a new one, when really they just need professional vent cleaning. We see this constantly – a $150 cleaning service saves customers from spending $800 on a new appliance.

What's the difference between cleaning the lint trap and professional vent cleaning?

Cleaning your lint trap only removes lint from the first few inches of the system. Professional dryer vent cleaning addresses the entire exhaust run from your dryer to the outside of your house – often 15-25 feet of ductwork in Kendall Park homes. Lint accumulates throughout this entire system, not just at the trap. We use specialized equipment to reach every section and remove buildup that’s been accumulating for months or years. Your lint trap catches maybe 60% of the lint; the rest travels through the system and eventually creates blockages.

How much does professional dryer vent cleaning cost?

Professional dryer vent cleaning typically costs between $150-300 depending on the complexity of your system and how much buildup we find. Kendall Park homes with longer vent runs or multiple story configurations may cost slightly more due to the extra work involved. Most customers save that amount in reduced energy bills within 6-12 months because their dryer works efficiently again. Compare that to the cost of a new dryer ($600-1200) or fire damage (thousands), and professional cleaning is the smart financial choice.

Do you provide same-day dryer vent cleaning service?

Yes, we offer same-day emergency service when you have urgent situations like a completely blocked vent or safety concerns. For routine maintenance, we typically schedule within a few days of your call. Most dryer vent cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours depending on your system’s length and condition. We provide free estimates upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before we start work. Our technicians carry all necessary equipment on every truck, so we can complete most jobs during the initial visit without return trips.
