Your Dryer Works Like New Again

You know something’s wrong when your clothes need two or three cycles to dry. Or when your laundry room feels like a sauna. That’s your dryer telling you the vent is clogged with lint.

Here’s what changes after professional dryer vent cleaning. Your clothes dry in one cycle again. Your energy bills drop because your dryer isn’t working overtime. The burning smell disappears, and so does that nagging worry about dryer fires.

Most importantly, you get peace of mind. Lint buildup causes over 15,000 house fires every year, but a clean dryer vent eliminates that risk entirely. Your family stays safe, your dryer lasts longer, and laundry becomes simple again.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Simple Process, Serious Results

The process starts with a thorough inspection of your entire dryer vent system. We check the internal ductwork, external vent hood, and connection points to identify blockages, damage, or code violations.

Next comes the deep cleaning using professional-grade equipment. High-powered vacuums and specialized brushes remove every bit of lint buildup from the vent line. We clean from both ends to ensure complete removal, not just surface cleaning.

Finally, we test airflow and inspect the vent hood outside your home. If repairs are needed, we handle those too. You get a system that works efficiently and safely, plus recommendations for maintaining optimal performance between cleanings.

The whole job typically takes 1-2 hours, and you’ll notice the difference immediately when you run your next load of laundry.

Complete Dryer Vent Solutions

More Than Just Basic Cleaning

Professional dryer vent cleaning includes complete system inspection, lint removal from the entire vent line, external vent hood cleaning, and airflow testing. But Apex goes further than basic cleaning services.

We handle vent hood repairs and replacements when needed. Damaged or missing vent hoods let moisture, pests, and cold air into your home. We also identify and fix code violations that could cause insurance issues or safety problems.

In Tinton Falls, many homes have longer vent runs or multiple bends that require specialized attention. Our NADCA-certified technicians know how to clean these complex systems properly, ensuring optimal airflow and safety compliance throughout your entire dryer vent system.

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 your usage and vent length. If you do multiple loads weekly or have a long vent run, annual cleaning is smart. Signs you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, excessive heat buildup, or lint around your dryer area. Homes with shorter, straight vent runs might stretch to every two years, but don’t wait if you notice performance issues.

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

Your lint trap only catches about 75% of lint – the rest travels through your dryer vent and builds up over time. Professional cleaning removes this accumulated lint from the entire vent line, including areas you can’t reach. We use specialized equipment to clean from both the dryer connection and exterior vent hood, ensuring complete removal. Regular lint trap cleaning is essential, but it doesn’t replace the need for professional vent cleaning.

How do I know if my dryer vent is clogged?

The biggest red flag is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely. You might also notice your dryer getting extremely hot, burning smells, or lint accumulating around the dryer despite cleaning the lint trap. Outside, check if your vent hood flap opens properly when the dryer runs. If it stays closed or barely opens, you likely have a blockage. High energy bills from your dryer working overtime are another common sign of vent problems.

Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a house fire?

Absolutely. Lint is highly flammable, and clogged vents cause dryers to overheat. The National Fire Protection Association reports over 15,000 dryer fires annually, with failure to clean being the leading cause. When airflow is restricted, heat builds up and can ignite lint buildup inside the vent. This isn’t just a minor risk – dryer fires cause millions in property damage and can be deadly. Professional cleaning eliminates this fire hazard completely.

How much does professional dryer vent cleaning cost in Tinton Falls?

Professional dryer vent cleaning typically costs between $150-300 depending on your vent length, accessibility, and any repairs needed. While this might seem expensive, consider that a clogged vent can add $300+ annually to your energy bills. Factor in the fire prevention, extended dryer life, and time savings from efficient drying, and professional cleaning pays for itself quickly. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Do you repair dryer vents or just clean them?

We handle both cleaning and repairs as a complete dryer vent service. Common repairs include replacing damaged vent hoods, fixing disconnected ductwork, and upgrading non-compliant installations. Many homes have vent hoods that are broken, missing, or installed incorrectly, which reduces efficiency and creates safety issues. Our technicians identify these problems during cleaning and can fix them the same day. This comprehensive approach ensures your entire dryer vent system works safely and efficiently.
