WHY CLEAN YOUR DRYER VENT?
Protect Your Home & Family
Lint is highly flammable and accumulates in your dryer vent with every load. Over time this restricts airflow, forces your dryer to work harder, and creates a serious fire risk — all without any visible warning signs.
Our NADCA-certified technicians use professional-grade rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums to completely clear your vent from the dryer connection all the way to the exterior cap.
- Eliminates lint buildup — the #1 cause of dryer fires
- Restores full airflow for faster drying

- Lowers energy bills — clogged vents use 30% more power
- Full before-and-after airflow documentation
BY THE NUMBERS
Dryer Vent Facts You Need to Know
WARNING SIGNS
8 Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning
Don’t wait for a fire hazard — if you notice any of these signs, schedule a cleaning today.
Takes 2+ Cycles to Dry
Clothes staying damp after one full cycle is the most common sign of a clogged vent.
Dryer Gets Very Hot
If the outside of your dryer or your clothes are unusually hot, airflow is restricted.
Burning Smell During Use
A burning smell while running is a serious warning — stop using it and call us immediately.
Lint Around the Dryer
Visible lint accumulation around or behind the dryer means lint is backing up in the vent.
No Airflow at Exterior Cap
Hold your hand near the outside vent cap — you should feel strong airflow during operation.
Never Been Cleaned
If you’ve never had it cleaned — or can’t remember when — it’s overdue regardless of symptoms.
Rising Energy Bills
A clogged dryer vent forces longer cycles, which means higher electric or gas bills every month.
Musty-Smelling Clothes
Moisture not being properly vented out can lead to mildew growth inside the vent or drum.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQs
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
Most homes should have their dryer vent cleaned once a year. If you do more than 5 loads per week, have a large family, or have pets, every 6 months is recommended. Commercial facilities may need quarterly cleaning.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take?
Most residential cleanings take 45–90 minutes depending on the length and routing of your vent. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we inspect the system.
Can I clean my dryer vent myself?
You can clean the first few feet with a brush kit, but professional equipment is needed to clear the full vent run — especially for vents longer than 5 feet or those with bends. DIY cleaning often pushes lint further in rather than removing it.
What’s the difference between dryer duct and dryer vent cleaning?
They refer to the same thing — the duct that exhausts hot, moist air and lint from your dryer to the outside of your home. We clean the entire run from the back of your dryer to the exterior vent cap.
Do you service gas dryers as well as electric?
Yes — we clean dryer vents for both gas and electric dryers. The vent cleaning process is the same regardless of dryer type.
