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.
