Your dryer works the way it should. Clothes dry in one cycle instead of two or three. Your energy bill drops because the machine isn’t working overtime to push air through clogged vents.

Most importantly, you sleep better knowing lint isn’t building up in your walls, waiting to ignite. According to the National Fire Protection Association, dryers cause over 15,000 house fires annually, and 27% of those fires start because vents weren’t cleaned.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start by disconnecting your dryer and inspecting the entire vent system from inside your home to the exterior exit point. This tells us what we’re dealing with before we begin cleaning.

Next, we use specialized rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums to remove lint, debris, and any blockages throughout the entire vent line. We don’t just clean the easy-to-reach parts – we clean the full length of the vent, including bends and vertical sections where lint loves to accumulate.

We also clean the dryer’s lint trap housing and the area behind your dryer where lint often escapes. Before we reconnect everything, we test airflow to make sure your vent is moving air the way it should. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run your first load.

Complete Dryer Vent Cleaning Service

What's Included in Every Service

Every dryer vent cleaning includes a full inspection of your vent system, complete lint removal from the dryer to the exterior exit, and cleaning of the dryer’s internal lint trap area. We also check for proper vent connections and airflow restrictions.

In Harborside’s coastal environment, we pay special attention to exterior vent covers that can corrode from salt air or get blocked by debris. We’ve found everything from bird nests to small animals that decided your warm vent was the perfect home.

We provide before and after photos so you can see exactly what was removed from your vent system. Most homeowners are shocked by the amount of lint we pull out, even from vents they thought were clean.

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 12-18 months, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and what type of clothing you dry regularly. If you’re doing multiple loads daily or frequently drying items that shed a lot of lint like towels and blankets, you might need cleaning annually. Signs you need cleaning sooner include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer getting extremely hot, or a burning smell when the dryer runs. In Harborside’s humid coastal climate, we often recommend annual cleaning because moisture can cause lint to stick and accumulate faster than in drier climates.
You can clean the lint trap and the area immediately behind your dryer, but professional cleaning is necessary for the full vent system. Most dryer vents run through walls, crawl spaces, or attics before exiting your home, and homeowner cleaning kits can’t reach these areas effectively. Professional equipment includes rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums specifically designed to clean the entire vent length, including bends and vertical sections where lint accumulates. We also inspect for disconnected joints, damaged venting, or exterior blockages that DIY cleaning can’t address. Attempting to clean long or complex vent runs yourself often just pushes lint deeper into the system.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry than usual, especially if loads that used to dry in one cycle now need two or three. Your dryer will also get much hotter than normal, and you might notice the laundry room feels unusually warm and humid after running the dryer. Other warning signs include a burning smell when the dryer runs, excessive lint around the dryer area, or no air coming from the exterior vent while the dryer is running. If your energy bills have increased without explanation, a clogged dryer vent could be the culprit since the dryer has to work much harder to dry clothes when airflow is restricted.
Most dryer vent cleaning takes 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on the length of your vent run and how much buildup we find. Simple, short vents with minimal lint might take 45 minutes, while longer vents that run through multiple floors or have significant blockages can take up to two hours. We also factor in time for the initial inspection, testing airflow after cleaning, and showing you the before and after results. The process involves disconnecting your dryer, cleaning the entire vent system, and reconnecting everything properly, so we don’t rush through any steps that affect your safety or the quality of the cleaning.
Yes, cleaning your dryer vent can significantly reduce energy costs, especially if your vent has been clogged for a while. When lint blocks airflow, your dryer has to run longer and work harder to dry clothes, using more electricity or gas with each load. Many customers see their drying time cut in half after professional cleaning, which directly translates to lower energy usage. The exact savings depend on how often you use your dryer and how blocked your vent was, but most homeowners notice a difference in their utility bills within the first month. Plus, your dryer will last longer when it doesn’t have to strain against restricted airflow, saving you money on premature appliance replacement.
Absolutely. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it accumulates in your dryer vent, it creates a serious fire hazard. The U.S. Fire Administration reports that 2,900 home dryer fires occur annually, causing an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss. The leading cause is failure to clean dryer vents. When airflow is restricted, your dryer overheats, and the combination of excessive heat and accumulated lint can ignite. This isn’t a theoretical risk – it happens regularly. Professional cleaning removes the lint buildup that creates this fire hazard and ensures proper airflow so your dryer operates at safe temperatures. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your home and family from fire.
