Our 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 identifies any damage or code violations that need attention.

Next, we use professional-grade equipment to remove 100% of the lint buildup from your entire vent system. We’re not just cleaning the lint trap you can reach – we’re clearing the entire pathway that air travels from your dryer to the outside of your home.

We test airflow before and after cleaning so you can see the difference. Then we inspect the exterior vent hood to make sure it’s working properly and not letting pests or weather into your system. You get a clear explanation of what we found and recommendations for keeping your system safe and efficient.

Complete Dryer Vent Maintenance

What's Included in Every Service Call

Every dryer vent cleaning includes a thorough inspection of your entire system, professional lint removal using commercial-grade equipment, and airflow testing to verify proper operation. We check your exterior vent hood for damage, pest intrusion, or weather-related issues that could affect performance.

Mount Laurel homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often have longer vent runs with multiple turns, which means lint builds up faster and cleaning requires more specialized equipment. We’ve been working in these neighborhoods for decades and know exactly what to look for.

You also get honest recommendations about maintenance frequency based on your specific system and usage patterns. Most families need professional cleaning every 1-2 years, but homes with longer vent runs or heavy dryer use may need more frequent service.

How often should I have my dryer vent professionally cleaned?

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and how your vent system is configured. If you have a large family doing multiple loads daily, or if your dryer vent has a long run with several turns, you might need annual cleaning. Signs that you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting very hot during operation, or a burning smell when the dryer runs. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation during the service call.

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

The most obvious sign is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like towels or jeans. You might notice the dryer getting extremely hot during operation, or the laundry room feeling unusually warm and humid. A burning smell is a serious warning sign that lint buildup is creating a fire hazard. Other indicators include the exterior vent hood not opening properly when the dryer runs, or lint visible around the outside vent opening. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s time for professional cleaning – don’t wait.

Can I clean my dryer vent myself or do I need professionals?

You can clean the lint trap and the immediate area around your dryer, but professional cleaning is necessary for the entire vent system. Most dryer vents in Mount Laurel homes run 15-25 feet from the dryer to the exterior, often with turns and vertical sections that require specialized equipment to clean properly. Store-bought vent cleaning kits can’t reach the entire system and often push lint further into the vent rather than removing it. Professional equipment creates powerful suction and uses rotating brushes designed for different vent configurations to ensure complete removal.

How much does professional dryer vent cleaning cost in Mount Laurel?

Professional dryer vent cleaning typically costs between $150-300 depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. Homes with longer runs, multiple turns, or difficult access points may cost more. The investment pays for itself quickly through reduced energy bills and extended dryer life – a clogged vent can increase drying time by 50% or more, which shows up on your electric bill every month. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins, with no surprises or hidden fees.

Will cleaning my dryer vent really reduce my energy bills?

Yes, absolutely. When your dryer vent is clogged, your dryer has to work much harder and run much longer to dry the same load of clothes. This can increase energy consumption by 30-50% compared to a properly functioning system. After professional cleaning, most customers notice their clothes dry in one cycle instead of two or three, which directly translates to lower electric bills. The typical homeowner saves $100-200 annually in energy costs after proper vent cleaning, making the service pay for itself within the first year.

How long does the dryer vent cleaning process 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’ll inspect the entire system first, which takes about 15 minutes, then perform the actual cleaning and testing. If we discover any issues like damaged ductwork or problems with the exterior vent hood, we’ll explain what needs attention and how long any additional work would take. We work efficiently but thoroughly – rushing through the job defeats the purpose of professional cleaning.
