Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a complete inspection of your dryer vent system, checking for blockages, damage, and code compliance. Our technicians use specialized equipment to remove all lint buildup from the vent line, not just the surface lint you can see.

Next, we clean the entire exhaust path from your dryer to the outside vent hood. This includes removing lint from bends, joints, and hard-to-reach areas where dangerous buildup typically occurs.

Finally, we test airflow to make sure your dryer can exhaust properly. We’ll show you the lint we removed and explain any issues we found. If your vent hood needs replacement or repairs, we handle that too. You get a complete solution, not just a quick cleaning.

How often should dryer vents be cleaned professionally?

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on usage and vent length. If you do multiple loads daily or have a long vent run, annual cleaning prevents dangerous lint buildup. Signs you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, excessive heat, or lint around the dryer area. We recommend annual inspections to catch problems early and prevent fires.

What are the warning signs of a clogged dryer vent?

Clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely is the biggest red flag. You might also notice excessive heat in the laundry room, a burning smell, or lint accumulating around the dryer. The outside vent hood should open when the dryer runs – if it stays closed, that’s a blockage. Higher energy bills and the dryer shutting off mid-cycle are also common signs of restricted airflow from lint buildup.

Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a house fire?

Yes, and it happens more often than people realize. The U.S. Fire Administration reports over 2,900 dryer fires annually, with failure to clean being the leading cause. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it builds up in hot ductwork, it creates perfect conditions for ignition. That’s why we take dryer vent cleaning seriously – we’re not just improving efficiency, we’re preventing fires that can destroy homes and endanger families.

How long does professional dryer vent cleaning take?

Most dryer vent cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours, depending on vent length and how much lint has accumulated. We don’t rush the process because thorough cleaning requires time to reach all areas where lint builds up. This includes disassembling sections if needed and ensuring complete removal from the entire exhaust path. We’ll give you a time estimate upfront so you can plan accordingly.

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

DIY cleaning typically only reaches lint near the dryer, while professional cleaning removes buildup from the entire vent system. We use specialized equipment to clean long vent runs, navigate bends, and reach the exterior vent hood. Our NADCA-certified technicians also identify problems like damaged ductwork, improper installation, or code violations that homeowners often miss. Professional cleaning is more thorough and includes safety inspection.
