What Happens After We Clean

Your clothes dry faster. Your energy bills drop. Your dryer stops overheating and struggling through every load.

Most importantly, you stop wondering if tonight’s the night a clogged vent starts a fire. When lint builds up in your dryer vent, it doesn’t just slow things down—it creates a serious fire hazard that causes thousands of house fires every year.

After professional dryer vent cleaning, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Clothes that used to take two or three cycles will dry completely in one. Your dryer won’t sound like it’s working overtime, and your laundry room won’t feel like a sauna every time you run a load.

Our Dryer Vent Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we disconnect your dryer and inspect the entire vent system from inside your home to the exterior exit point. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and identifies any damage or blockages.

Next, we use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuum equipment to remove all lint, debris, and buildup from the vent line. We clean from both ends—inside and outside—to make sure we get everything.

Finally, we reconnect everything properly, test your dryer’s airflow, and show you the difference. You’ll see exactly what came out of your vents, and you’ll feel the improved airflow immediately. We also check your exterior vent cover to make sure it’s working correctly and keeping pests out.

Complete Vent Cleaning Service

What's Included in Every Job

Every dryer vent cleaning includes complete lint removal from your dryer to the outside vent exit. We clean the entire vent line, not just the easy-to-reach parts that homeowners can access themselves.

We inspect your vent system for damage, proper installation, and code compliance. Many homes in Descanso have vents that are too long, have too many bends, or use incorrect materials—all of which create fire hazards and efficiency problems.

You’ll also get a thorough cleaning of your dryer’s lint screen housing and interior areas where lint accumulates. We check that your exterior vent cover opens and closes properly and isn’t blocked by landscaping or debris. Before we leave, we test your dryer to confirm improved airflow and proper operation.

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning once a year, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent run. If you do several loads a week or have a long vent line with multiple bends, you might need cleaning every six to eight months. Signs you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, your dryer getting very hot, or lint appearing around the outside vent opening. In Descanso’s dry climate, staying on top of this maintenance is especially important for fire prevention.
You can clean the lint screen and the first few feet of vent line yourself, but most homeowners can’t reach the entire vent system effectively. Professional cleaning uses specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums that remove lint from the full length of the vent, including bends and vertical sections where lint gets packed tight. We also inspect for damage, proper installation, and code compliance issues that aren’t obvious to homeowners. DIY cleaning is better than nothing, but it won’t give you the thorough cleaning that prevents fires and maximizes efficiency.
The biggest warning sign is clothes taking much longer to dry than they used to—especially heavy items like towels and jeans. Your dryer will also get very hot during operation, and you might notice the laundry room feeling unusually warm and humid. Check your outside vent opening while the dryer is running; if there’s little or no airflow, or if you see lint around the opening, your vent is definitely clogged. Some people also notice a burning smell, which means you need immediate professional attention. Don’t ignore these signs—they indicate a serious fire hazard.
Clogged dryer vents cause about 15,000 house fires every year, with most starting from lint buildup that overheats and ignites. Beyond the fire risk, you’ll waste money on higher energy bills as your dryer works harder and runs longer. Your dryer will also wear out faster from the extra strain, leading to expensive repairs or early replacement. Clothes won’t dry properly, leading to mildew and odor problems. In extreme cases, carbon monoxide can back up into your home if you have a gas dryer. Regular cleaning prevents all of these problems and keeps your family safe.
Most dryer vent cleaning jobs take between 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the length of your vent run and how much buildup we find. Simple, short vents might be done in 30 minutes, while longer runs or heavily clogged systems could take up to two hours. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when we arrive and assess your specific setup. The time investment is worth it—you’ll immediately notice faster drying times and have peace of mind knowing your family is safer from fire hazards.
We focus primarily on the vent system from your dryer to the outside exit point, but we also clean accessible areas inside your dryer where lint accumulates. This includes the lint screen housing and interior areas you can’t reach during normal maintenance. We don’t disassemble your dryer or perform mechanical repairs, but we’ll let you know if we notice any issues that need attention. Our goal is complete lint removal from the entire system that affects airflow and safety. If your dryer needs internal mechanical work, we can recommend qualified appliance repair services in the Descanso area.
