Professional Dryer Vent Services

Your Dryer Works Like New Again

When your dryer vent is properly cleaned, your clothes dry in one cycle instead of three. Your energy bills drop because your dryer isn’t working overtime to push air through clogged vents. Most importantly, you eliminate the lint buildup that causes thousands of house fires every year.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Faster drying times mean less time doing laundry and lower utility costs every month. Your dryer runs cooler and quieter because air flows freely through clean vents.

The peace of mind is worth everything. No more wondering if that burning smell is dangerous or if your family is safe while the dryer runs overnight.

Complete Dryer Vent Maintenance

Everything Your Dryer Needs

Professional dryer vent cleaning includes complete lint removal from your dryer to the outside vent hood. We clean the entire ductwork system, not just the easy-to-reach parts that other companies skip.

Pennsauken homes often have longer vent runs and multiple bends that trap lint and reduce airflow. We’ve seen every type of vent configuration in the area and know exactly how to clean them properly.

You also get a thorough inspection that identifies potential fire hazards, code violations, and efficiency problems. We’ll spot damaged ductwork, improper installations, and other issues that could cost you money or put your family at risk.

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12-18 months, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent run. If you have a large family doing multiple loads daily, you might need cleaning annually. Longer vent runs with multiple bends collect lint faster and may need more frequent attention. Signs you need cleaning now include clothes taking multiple cycles to dry, the dryer getting very hot, or lint visible around the outside vent hood.

What are the signs my dryer vent is clogged?

The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry – if you’re running two or three cycles for loads that used to dry in one, your vent is likely blocked. Your dryer will also get much hotter than normal, and you might notice a burning smell during operation. Check the outside vent hood – if little or no air is coming out when the dryer runs, you have a blockage. Lint accumulating around the dryer or visible at the exterior vent are clear warning signs that need immediate attention.

Can clogged dryer vents really cause fires?

Yes, clogged dryer vents cause about 2,900 house fires every year according to the National Fire Protection Association. 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 ductwork and into your walls. This is why regular professional cleaning is so important – it removes the lint buildup that creates fire hazards and keeps your family safe.

How much money can I save with professional dryer vent cleaning?

Most homeowners save $200-400 annually on energy costs after professional dryer vent cleaning. When your vent is clogged, your dryer uses 2-3 times more energy to dry the same load of clothes. Clean vents restore proper airflow, so your dryer works efficiently again. You’ll also extend your dryer’s lifespan significantly – replacing a dryer costs $500-1200, but regular vent maintenance can help your current dryer last years longer. The service typically pays for itself within the first year through energy savings alone.

Do you clean the entire vent system or just part of it?

We clean the complete system from your dryer’s lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood. This includes the flexible connector hose behind your dryer, the main ductwork running through your walls or crawl space, and the exterior termination point. Many companies only clean the easy-to-reach sections, but lint accumulates throughout the entire system. We use specialized equipment to reach every part of your vent run, including long horizontal runs and vertical sections that trap the most debris.
