Clothes take two cycles
When moist air can't get out, clothes stay damp. Long dry times are the most common sign of a blocked vent.
- Loads still damp
- Longer and longer cycles
- Higher energy use
Dryer vent cleaning
Shorter dry times. Lower fire risk.
The lint screen catches most of the lint, not all of it. The rest packs into the vent line behind the wall. We clear the whole run from the dryer to the outside, so your dryer breathes again.

Safe
Chimneys swept and inspected, so every fire burns the way it should.
Dry
Gutters and roofs kept clear, so rain goes where it belongs.
Clean
Floors covered, work areas contained, and nothing left behind.
Clear
Photos of what we find, and a written price before any repair.
What's included
From the dryer to the outside wall.
Cleaning only the first few feet doesn't solve the problem. We clean the entire run.
01
Full vent line
The whole duct brushed and vacuumed, including long runs through walls, floors, crawl spaces, and attics.
02
Behind the dryer
The transition hose and the dryer's exhaust outlet cleared, and crushed or kinked hose pointed out.
03
Outside vent hood
The exterior hood and flap cleaned of lint and nests, and checked to make sure the flap opens freely.
04
Airflow check
Airflow checked before and after, so you can see the difference.
Warning signs
Is your dryer telling you something?
A clogged vent shows itself in a few ways. Any one of these is worth a look.
The dryer runs hot
The top of the dryer, the clothes, or the laundry room feels much hotter than usual, or the dryer shuts off mid-cycle.
- Hot to the touch
- Burning smell
- Shuts off early
Nothing comes out outside
With the dryer running, the flap on the outside wall barely opens, or there's lint built up around it.
- Flap stays closed
- Lint around the hood
- Birds or nests

FAQ
Dryer vent questions.
Anything else, ask us when you book.
01How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
About once a year for most households. Large families, homes with pets, and dryers with long vent runs often need it more often.
02Is a clogged dryer vent really a fire hazard?
Yes. Lint is highly flammable, and a blocked vent makes the dryer run hotter. Failure to clean is a leading cause of home dryer fires.
03My vent runs a long way to the outside. Can you still clean it?
Yes. Long runs through crawl spaces, attics, and between floors are the ones that clog first, and we have the rods and brushes to clean their full length.
04Should my flexible foil or plastic vent hose be replaced?
Usually, yes. Plastic and thin foil hose sags, crushes, and traps lint. Rigid or semi-rigid metal duct moves air better and is what dryer manufacturers call for.
