Dryer Vent Cleaning

According to the National Fire Protection Agency, dirty dryer vents cause an estimated 17,000house fires each year.

Reasons forCleaning

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 VentCleaningWork?

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.

Dirty Vent

A dirty dryer vent prior to being cleaned can pose serious risks such as reduced efficiency and increased fire hazards, which is why regular maintenance is essential for ensuring safety and optimal performance.

25 Point Inspection

All services begin with a thorough 25-point inspection of your dryer vent system, which include pre-cleaning pictures and air flow measurements.

Technician

Our friendly, courteous technician carefully disconnects your dryer from the power source and venting system.

Rotating Brush

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.

Lint Screen

The lint screen is thoroughly inspected for any signs of damage or wear, ensuring its functionality is not compromised, and then it is meticulously cleaned to remove all debris and lint buildup, promoting optimal performance and safety for your appliance.

Clean Lint Trap

The lint trap is meticulously cleaned and vacuumed using advanced specialized brushes and tools that allow us to access and remove lint from areas that are typically difficult for homeowners to reach, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning process that enhances safety and efficiency in your dryer vent system.

Transition Hose

The transition hose connecting the dryer to the main vent is checked to ensure it is made from safe materials. Plastic or thin foil vents are flammable and should never be used in your dryer vent system. If we find any plastic or foil ducts, we will recommend replacing them with semi-rigid metal vents for your safety.

Vent Cover

The vent cover is inspected to ensure it is pest-proof and up to code requirements. For example, plastic screens trap lint and cause fire hazards. If needed, a new pest-proof cover will be installed with a lifetime guarantee.
