Our Dryer Vent Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start by inspecting your dryer vent system from both inside and outside your home. This shows us exactly where lint has accumulated and identifies any structural issues or damage that could cause problems.

Next, we disconnect your dryer and use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuum equipment to remove all lint and debris from the entire vent length. We clean the vent hood outside, check for proper airflow, and make sure nothing is blocking the exit.

Finally, we reconnect everything, test your dryer’s performance, and show you the difference in airflow. You’ll see exactly what we removed and understand why your dryer will work better. The whole process typically takes 1-2 hours, and you can use your dryer immediately afterward.

Most homes need professional dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent run. If you do several loads of laundry weekly, have a long vent run, or notice clothes taking longer to dry, annual cleaning makes sense. Homes with shorter vent runs and lighter usage can often go two years between cleanings. The key warning signs are longer drying times, the dryer getting very hot, or lint appearing around the exterior vent hood.
You can clean the lint trap and the first few feet of ductwork yourself, but most dryer vents need professional equipment to clean completely. Homeowner tools typically can’t reach the full length of the vent run, especially in La Jolla homes where vents often run long distances to reach exterior walls. Professional cleaning uses specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums that remove lint buildup your household tools can’t reach. If your vent run is short and straight, DIY cleaning might work, but most installations require professional service for thorough cleaning.
The most obvious sign is clothes taking longer to dry than they used to. If loads that used to dry in one cycle now need two, or if clothes come out still damp after a full cycle, your vent is probably clogged. Other warning signs include the dryer getting very hot during operation, a burning smell when the dryer runs, lint accumulating around the exterior vent hood, or the vent hood flap not opening properly when the dryer is running. You might also notice your laundry room getting more humid or warm than usual during dryer operation.
Professional dryer vent cleaning in La Jolla typically costs between $150-300, depending on the length and complexity of your vent system. Factors that affect pricing include how long the vent run is, whether it has multiple turns or bends, accessibility of the exterior vent, and how much lint buildup we find. Most standard residential cleanings fall in the middle of that range. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect, and the cost is usually much less than what you’d spend on increased energy bills or dryer repairs from a clogged vent.
Absolutely. Clogged dryer vents cause thousands of house fires every year, and lint is extremely flammable. When your vent is blocked, heat builds up in the dryer and ductwork, and lint can ignite. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires. Regular professional cleaning removes the lint buildup that creates this fire risk. It’s especially important in La Jolla’s dry climate, where static electricity and low humidity can make lint even more likely to ignite. Professional cleaning is one of the most effective ways to protect your home from this preventable fire hazard.
Yes, cleaning your dryer vent typically improves efficiency dramatically. When lint blocks the vent, your dryer has to work much harder to push air through the system, which means longer drying times and higher energy consumption. After professional cleaning, most homeowners notice their clothes dry faster and the dryer doesn’t get as hot during operation. This improved efficiency translates to lower energy bills and less wear on your dryer, which extends its lifespan. Many of our La Jolla customers are surprised by how much better their dryer performs after a thorough vent cleaning.
