Dryer Vent Cleaning
According to the National Fire Protection Agency, dirty dryer vents cause an estimated 17,000 house fires each year.
REASONS FOR CLEANING
-
The leading cause of dryer inefficiency and mechanical breakdown is a dirty or blocked vent.
-
Clogged or debris-filled dryer vent lines hurt the performance and safety of your appliance.
-
A dirty dryer vent results in longer drying time and causes excessive wear & tear on your dryer.
-
Annual dryer vent cleaning is recommended by the National Fire Protection Agency and most appliance manufacturers.
-
Regular vent cleaning can extend the life of your dryer and save you money on your energy costs.
SOLUTION
Our unique process rids your vent of accumulated lint and other foreign objects by sending a specialized rotating brush through the entire vent from the dryer connection to the termination outside. As the brush rotates through the vent, a heavy duty vacuum connected to the vent system extracts the loosened lint. Once the vent is thoroughly cleaned, we clean the lint screen & lint trap using specialized brushes & vacuum hoses. Where possible, we also clean inside the cabinet. In most cases, the full job is completed in under an hour. We guarantee professional service by a Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician with absolutely no mess.

How Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Work?
Very similar to plumbing drain cleaning, professional dryer vent cleaners utilize specialty snaking tools that feed into the dryer duct exhaust system - these tools agitate and brush clean the years of dryer lint build up inside of the pipe (while simultaneously using high powered suction to remove the debris). This build up is consistent throughout the whole duct, including the parts of the vent that you can’t see - in between your walls, floors, ceiling, or in the attic or crawlspace.
See the photos below for our step by step procedure.
All services begin with a thorough 25-point inspection of your dryer vent system, which include pre-cleaning pictures and air flow measurements.
Our friendly, courteous technician carefully disconnects your dryer from the power source and venting system.
A rotating brush attached to flexible connecting rods is fed through the entire vent as a powerful vacuum system extracts the lint, keeping your home clean.

The lint screen is inspected for damage and carefully cleaned.
The lint trap is thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed using specialized brushes and tools which enable us to reach areas inaccessible by the homeowner.
The transition hose that connects the dryer to the main vent is inspected to ensure it is made of the correct and safe materials. Plastic or thin foil vents are very flammable and must never be used in any area of your dryer vent system. If we notice any plastic or foil duct, we will advise you and recommend replacing it with semi-rigid metal vents for safety.
