What You Get When Your Vents Actually Work

Your clothes dry faster. Your energy bills drop. Your laundry room stops feeling like a sauna every time you run a load.

When lint clogs your dryer vent, your machine works twice as hard to push hot air through the blockage. That means longer cycles, higher bills, and a dryer that’s working overtime just to do its basic job.

Professional dryer vent cleaning removes years of lint buildup that your regular filter can’t catch. You’ll notice the difference immediately – clothes that used to take two or three cycles now dry completely in one. Your dryer runs cooler, quieter, and more efficiently than it has in years.

You’re not just getting a cleaning service. You’re getting local expertise from people who understand how California’s climate and housing styles affect dryer performance.

Our Dryer Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do During Your Service

First, we disconnect your dryer and inspect the entire vent system to identify problem areas and measure the extent of lint buildup. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with before we start cleaning.

Next, we use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuum equipment to remove lint from every section of your vent line. We clean from both ends – starting at your dryer and working toward the exterior exhaust – to ensure complete removal.

Finally, we reconnect everything, test your dryer’s airflow, and walk you through what we found. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run your next load. Most customers are surprised by how much lint we remove, even from vents they thought were “pretty clean.”

Complete Dryer Vent Cleaning

What's Included in Every Hilltop Service Call

Every dryer vent cleaning includes a complete inspection of your vent system, professional-grade cleaning of the entire vent line from dryer to exterior exhaust, and airflow testing to confirm proper operation.

We also check your exterior vent cap for damage or obstructions that could cause future problems. Many Hilltop homes have vents that face prevailing winds, which can push debris back into the system if the cap isn’t working properly.

You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found, recommendations for maintaining optimal performance, and honest advice about how often your specific setup needs professional cleaning. Most homes need service every 1-2 years, but it depends on your household’s laundry volume and vent configuration.

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much laundry you do and your vent setup. Large families who run multiple loads daily might need annual service, while smaller households can often go longer. If your clothes are taking longer to dry, your laundry room feels unusually hot, or you notice more lint around your dryer, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had service. The key is paying attention to your dryer’s performance – it will tell you when the vent needs attention.
You can clean the lint trap and the first few feet of vent line yourself, but most homeowners can’t reach the full length of their vent system. Professional cleaning uses specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums that remove lint from the entire vent line, including bends and vertical sections where lint typically accumulates. DIY cleaning often misses these problem areas, leaving the bulk of the blockage in place. If your vent runs more than 10 feet or has multiple turns, professional equipment makes a significant difference in thoroughness and safety.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry – if loads that used to dry in one cycle now need two or three, your vent is likely restricted. Other warning signs include your laundry room feeling unusually hot and humid during operation, excessive lint accumulating around your dryer despite regular filter cleaning, and a burning smell when the dryer runs. You might also notice the exterior vent flap not opening properly when the dryer operates, or lint visible around the outside vent opening. These symptoms indicate airflow restriction that professional cleaning can resolve.
Yes – clogged dryer vents cause thousands of house fires every year. When lint blocks airflow, your dryer overheats and lint becomes a serious fire hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires in residential homes. Lint is highly flammable, and when combined with the heat and restricted airflow from a clogged vent, it creates dangerous conditions. Regular professional cleaning removes this fire hazard and keeps your dryer operating at safe temperatures. It’s not just about efficiency – it’s about protecting your home and family.
Most dryer vent cleaning services take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on your vent length, configuration, and how much lint has accumulated. Straightforward installations with short vent runs clean up quickly, while longer or more complex vent systems take additional time. We also factor in time for the initial inspection, airflow testing after cleaning, and explaining our findings to you. The process involves disconnecting your dryer, cleaning the entire vent system, and reconnecting everything properly, so we don’t rush through steps that affect your safety and the quality of the cleaning.
Your lint trap only catches a portion of the lint your dryer produces – the rest travels through the vent system and accumulates in the ductwork, especially at bends and joints. Even with diligent lint trap maintenance, significant buildup occurs throughout the vent line over time. Professional cleaning addresses the entire system from your dryer to the exterior exhaust, removing lint that your trap can’t catch. We use specialized brushes and powerful vacuums to clean areas you can’t reach, including vertical sections and long horizontal runs where lint typically accumulates most heavily.
